The Sixers are on the verge of a new head coach. One name now stands above the rest.
Rather than focus on the unforgivable sins of this Sixers head coaching search — no front office changes, a blatant lack of thoroughness, no creativity whatsoever — we can instead focus on the two-horse race at hand. A different two-horse race than was initially expected.
Just last week, the Philadelphia 76ers seemed ready to pick between Mike D’Antoni and Ty Lue to replace Brett Brown. Then, surprisingly, the Clippers fired Doc Rivers.
