On Saturday, the 76ers had their first sit-down interview with a coaching candidate, meeting with Doug Collins at his home in Scottsdale, Ariz. Ed Stefanski, the team's president and general manager, conducted the interview along with assistant general manager Tony DiLeo and team consultant Gene Shue. "They said it was a very comfortable meeting," said Collins' agent, John Langel. Shue coached Collins with the Sixers from 1973 to '77. Collins played for the Sixers from 1973 to 1981. In 1977, the pair went to the NBA Finals, losing to Portland. Stefanski fired coach Eddie Jordan on April 15, less than 24 hours after Jordan finished his first season with a record of 27-55. Collins, 58, is working as an analyst for TNT, covering the NBA playoffs. http://www.philly.com/inquirer/sports/20100503_76ers_talk_to_Doug_Collins.html
