The 76ers are good at revealing names, particularly the ones that should not really matter. They'll tell you they've talked to Avery Johnson about being their next coach one minute, then Doug Collins the next. Sam Mitchell is on their list as well as Portland assistant Monty Williams. What the Sixers won't tell anyone is perhaps the most important thing of all: that they are everyone's fallback plan and nothing more. This is what happens when the job as Philadelphia's next coach is as attractive as walking through a rat-infested sewer. This job is something any reputable coach would bypass without a second thought, which may speak more about the state of affairs in Sixerland than all those empty seats we saw in the Wachovia Center over 41 nights this season. There's no need to bother talking to the Sixers right now unless, of course, you're interested in hearing the same old rhetoric we've been hearing for weeks. http://www.philly.com/inquirer/colu...A__Smith__Wanted__Coach_who_wants_Sixers.html
