Mike D'Antoni Reportedly Hired As Associate Head Coach
Russ Isabella-USA TODAY SportsMike D'Antoni has reportedly arrived in Philadelphia and joined the Sixers as associate head coach, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey. He will be the number two to Brett Brown on the team's coaching staff.
D'Antoni, once a evolutionary NBA coach for the Phoenix Suns, last coached in the NBA as the lead man for the Los Angeles Lakers for the disastrous Big 4 run involving a hobbled Steve Nash, a disgruntled Kobe Bryant, a disinterested Pau Gasol, and a gaseous Dwight Howard. He has a winning record despite a less than stellar run as coach before and after his now-legendary, game-changing run with Phoenix.
