2. A proven vet who has been In the league before (Jeff Van Gundy)

3. A college coach who could be another Brad Stevens? (Will Wade?)

4. A coach who can develop players?

5. A guy who has won a championship before? (Lue or Rivers)

What are we looking for yall when you consider the roster we have?

A coach that can turn water into wine

The Doc Rivers contract situation is sure to interest the Sixers In the offseason if Brown doesn't get it done I think. A proven championship winning coach with our big four could be something ti behold. Oh, and he seems to have Brad Stevens number too

I don't know who the best NBA assistants are, but Lue, Rivers and van Gundy…NO, NO, NO.
Whoever said Larry Brown, that's a joke.

If we're going to go the college route, I strongly to go after Jay Wright, who's one of the
best and, in my opinion, in the Brad Stevens class.

Doc is not sold on Harris as max player or else would not have signed of on trade.

Brett brown has his limitation but there no good coaches out there available who are better than Brown.

Wrong, The Clippers offered Harris a four year max last year and Tobias rejected it. Also Doc isn't stupid, he's not gonna put together a better team In LA than the one we have here. Kawhi is the only one they have a shot at right now, and he alone will not be enough.

Nope, it was 4 years 80M, not the max.

Why let facts get in the way of a good story.

Brett Brown has done an outstanding job in his tenure as coach with this team. He’s made some mistakes give or take but so has every other coach bar maybe pop but even that’s arguable. He isn’t going anywhere.

Brown is not a bad coach and i am not sure there is a better one available at the moment. Players also seem to like him, so that's another reason not to replace him.

Having said that i get the feeling that the way he wants the team to play is different than what is optimal for the current personnel and that is also different from what is optimal for the best player in the team. If these three are not aligned i feel Sixers will have a hard time going far in the playoffs.

Zach Lowe's podcast with Brett Brown was fun. Brown is so well-spoken and offers insights in some of the thought processes he goes through.

Every Brett interview sounds like a performance. I wish he'd sounds a little like Morey now and then.

I really liked Brett’s answer on Embiid’s PNR defense question, because I feel Zach doesn’t emphasize one thing when talking about that matter.

Moving Embiid on Morris wasn’t completely about his struggle with guarding Horford, and wasn’t that much of a shocker IMO.

The Celtics constantly pulled Embiid away from the paint so he simply wasn’t able to be effective as a rim protector and help defender AKA things he’s great at. Changing matchups completely solved that problem and Sixers had a 102 DEFRTG in the last 3 games of the series and a ridiculous 88 DEFRTG with Embiid on the court.

So when Brown said he wanted to help Joel, I really think that’s what was on his mind the most, and it was an obvious decision to make simply from utilizing players better perspective, and not that much because of Embiid’s 1 on 1 matchup problems with Horford.

Ive been reading the Bucks forum. I stumbled upon a guy who posted “sixers are just much better in the clutch.”

You have to wonder if all those close games for us and all that blow outs for them, did gave us some advantage.

Ive said it before, all that blow outs to close out the season last year hurt us against the Celts.

You have to appreciate how Brett has trained our guys in crunch time. Im seeing a team that have another gear in crunch time. Biid and Butler have that switch you can turn on in crunch time.

I give credit to Brett putting the ball more in Jimmy's hands to initiate, especially in crunch time.

Jimmy’s PnR has been improved also. You saw him hitting those floaters off PnR in today’s game. He settled with mid range jumpers against the Kings. Before, he used to just pass out of those PnR that has been a head scratcher for me.

That Jimmy-Biid or Jimmy-Bobi PnR will be huge. Probably the second best free hand offense after the JJ-Biid DHO.

Jimmy Butler.
Assistant coach: Joel Embiid.

So....

beaten pacers, bucks away, and now boston on the 2nd of a B2B in the last 6 games. Not to mention a fantastic record against the best west teams this season.

The guy bleeds sixers and our players would take a bullet for him.

We have pretty much wrapped up the 3rd seed now despite constant roster upheaval through out the year. And trying to force Markelle into lineups he had no place in

We are close to the best clutch team in the league.

Statistically top3 when it comes to points out of a time out.

On top of all this he happily **** his coaching record just to be a part of The Process.

Why does everyone want this guy gone?

I want his name in the rafters when all is said and done.

All of this

But on top of that, you simply can't let go of Brown this offseason regardless of what happens. this is a huge offseason for us, needing to resign Jimmy, Tobias and others, as well as extend Simmons. If the players love Brett (which it appears they do) you on't can him and risk pissing off your pending FAs.

Coaching in all sports, specifically basketball and Football, has come under ridiculous criticism from fans the last 20 years. Videogames and Fantasy sports has made every person over the age of 10 thinks they are qualified strategists.
