The Philadelphia 76ers head coach is Brett Brown. Prior to his accepting the head coach position for the Philadelphia 76ers, he served as San Antonio Spurs’ assistant head coach under their head coach, Gregg Popovich. Over the years, “Pop” has managed to find consistent success with the Spurs, never winning fewer than 55 games in any one season over the past five years. And the common thread for the Spurs over that span of time is solid defense.
Now, when you look at the Philadelphia 76ers, you don’t see a similar story. There is a team fighting to improve, and so far at 19-19, are finding modest success.
