Olympics postponement affects many Philadelphia 76ers

Brett Brown expected to be coaching this July — just not the Philadelphia 76ers.

Brown was named the head coach of the Austrailan Olympic team last year. It is the second time he will be in charge of the Boomers (name the Aussie national men’s team goes by) at an Olympics, having been the coach in 2012, back when he was an assistant with the San Antonio Spurs.

Of course, due to the COVID-19 virus, that will not be happening. It was recently announced the games will be conducted from July 23-August 8, 2021, almost exactly a year from when they were originally scheduled to be held in Japan.
