The
Sixers have decided to hire San Antonio assistant coach Brett Brown as their
new head coach, the Daily News has learned.
Brown replaces Doug
Collins, who was not retained after this past season. Brown was an assistant
for the past seven seasons under Gregg Popovich. Before that, he was the Spurs'
player development coach for five years. He was also a candidate for the vacant
Boston Celtics job to replace Doc Rivers and was up for the Denver job that
went to Brian Shaw.
Brown, who played his
college basketball at Boston University under Rick Pitino, is the second Spurs
assistant to land a head coaching job this off-season. No. 1 assistant Mike
Budenholzer was hired by the Atlanta Hawks to replace Larry Drew.
