I've always Doug Collins and I hope he returns to the TNT crew. He's probably the best NBA color guy there is. Doug Collins informed Philadelphia 76ers' ownership that he will resign as head coach at season's end, according to league sources. Collins' possible return to the franchise in another role -- perhaps in the front office -- hasn't been ruled out, a source said. The 76ers' ownership wanted Collins to return for the final season of his contract, worth $4.5 million, but the coach informed owner Josh Harris of his decision to leave. The 76ers are 33-47 this season, ninth place in the Eastern Conference.
