[...] Eddie Jordan – There is competition for Jordan if Stefanski really wants him. Rumors suggest he is definitely in the running, and the connection with Stefanski on the surface supports that idea. But he will be in Vegas today and tomorrow meeting about the Kings job. The Kings apparently really want him and Jordan is said to be “very interested” in going back to Sacramento. I feel like Eddie Jordan is the front runner, and I don’t exactly know how I feel about it, which means I probably don’t want him. He had some talent in Washington and couldn’t get over the hump. I think he is a decent coach and was on the bench for two NBA Finals under Bryon Scott in New Jersey. But while he talked defense in the media, his Wizards teams never followed through and that worries me. [...]

Great a low key coach, I hope that Dileo doesn’t see any Dileo in him.

Remember Thibodeau as a low-key Sixers assistant during the Lucas years from 1994-96. He’s all about defense.

Dannie-- sorry about that. It feels like a ghost town in here. Also, here is a game Thibodeau coached while Doc had to attend a funeral: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMbE_CWFw8s

Rob - Calm down. Already knew about Thibodeau interviewing with us this a few hours ago from a Boston source that reported it before Kate Fagan did. I will have a post up in a little bit.

According to two GMs, they said that Doug Collins would be hard to hire as a head coach, since he looks for high-maintainence guys.

If the Sixers cannot get him as a head coach, then they should offer him the job as the Sixers color commentator along with Marc Zumoff, the two nicest guys in the booth and truly resemble “Brotherly Love”.

Jeff Van Gundy would be interesting and he also has a sense of humor (a big plus in chemistry). I admire guys that get trampled in a scrimmage between two teams (see Knicks and Heat rivalry). And the School of Van Gundy would be ”Great & Tough Brotherly Love”.

My coaching choices in that order:
1) Avery Johnson
2) Doug Collins
3) Jeff Van Gundy
4) Tom Thibodeau
5) Eddie Jordan

I guess the search will continue after the NBA season is over, but hopefully before the NBA Draft!
GO SIXERS!!
