Another one bites the dust. That's five coaches in what...2 weeks? Ridiculous. This one doesn't shock me too much though. The 76ers were underachieving big time, though to their credit, they were adjusting to Brand, as well a new style of offense. This team is really meant to get out and run, not be confined to the half-court. They need to get back to those ways or find a happy median if they're going to make the playoffs, because only Brand is meant to run in the half-court offense, the rest of these guys are at their best in the open court.
How is he a horrible coach? He took a really, really young team to the playoffs last year and gave Detroit a pretty good series. He also led Portland to the playoffs at least a time or two. While he may not be a great coach, he's certainly a solid one.
