I really don't care - they are going to be mediocre until Brand and AI2 contracts run up. Also, I'm not going to any sixers games next year, and if they hired a different coach, I'm still not going, I dont know anyone who goes to basketball games b/c of the coach. The fact that Jordan isn't a sexy name doesnt bother me. It does bother me that Ed was the one making the decision.
If you are going by his list of candidates - wouldn't you want Jordan ( maybe that was Ed's plan all along).
I saw parts of his press conference, I'm curious to see how his "Princeton Offense" works.

I think what most people object to is that the coaching search seemed to be a big charade. Ed was always going to hire Eddie.
Thats was a good read Vin, almost forgot how to get to the main page
I actually have no problem with the search charade, if Ed came out two days after DiLeo and said EJ is our coach, the same people upset about the charade would be upset Ed didnt talk to anyone else.
How many coaches (i didn't look it up) have a ring or two already(not avery johnson, not JVG) that a) want to come to Philadelphia (LB excluded) and b) You would probably have to bring someone out of retirement ala a Chuck Daly type, then Ed would be chastized for bringing out a retread. (which he ended up doing anyway)
In some defense of EJ - those first round exits were against the golden boy Lebron James and he had Gilbert Arenas who takes as many bad shots as Iggy, only at twice the rate.
In criticism of EJ - I dont like how Antwan Jamison was allowed to live at the 3 point line, can you imagine Jason Smith sitting out there hoisting threes. Are we in for another Jim O'Brien type offense?
I think winning and entertainment will bring people back regardless of the coach, even the Jay Wright appeal would eventually wear off.
