<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Philadelphia 76ers have named Alex English assistant bench coach, Sixers Head Coach Randy Ayers announced on Wednesday, August 6, 2003. English joins the Sixers after serving as director of player development for the Atlanta Hawks during the 2002-03 season. Prior to joining Atlanta, English was the head coach of the North Charleston Lowgators of the NBDL. In the league’s inaugural season (2001-02), he led the Lowgators to a 36-20 record and a playoff berth. </div> Link I think this is a very smart move by the Sixers front office, Alex knows a lot about basketball and will bring a whole lot to the team. Look for him to be teaching Allen one-on-one, and making him a better player. What do you guys think?

English was a great player and a great guy. He won the NBA's J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award in 1988. Hopefully he can get Grob to play some defense.
I think it was a smart move also. I think he will do a great job. Hey Love it Live I made this post like 5 hours ago.
The last I heard, Alex English was going to be the Hawks new head coach and Scott Skiles was going to coach the Sixers. Oh well, this is almost as good, but I still would have picked Scott Skiles if I were the Sixers. Skiles was a great coach while in Phoenix and I think he still has some juice in him. Best of luck to English and the Philadelphia 76ers.
Yeah, I like how they took a chance on him. He will most definetely be a great coach if he decides to go down that path. He is a very knowledgable guy when it comes to basketball.
