Samuel Dalembert(notes) has become numb to the coaching changes. In and out of Philadelphia they shuffle, taking with them various philosophies that were scrapped almost as soon as the 76ers learned the playbook. His next coach will be his eighth in 10 seasons with the team.

Philly’s coaching carousel has become a punchline around the NBA.

“When I tell guys around the league, they laugh at me,” Dalembert said.

Eddie Jordan is the latest coach fired by an organization that can’t find the right mix of players or the right coach to contend for NBA champships. Jordan and his maligned Princeton offense were given all of one season to make it work.

As a 40-year Sixers fan, I have suffered excruciating pain over many of those seasons.

That being said, I think the firing of Jordan was a bit premature.

I think there are players on the team that could more easily be blamed for the dismal season than the coach.

Just my two cents...

[JoshSmithPwns]

I agree with your two cents. You gotta give a coach more than a year especially when he doesnt have the best supporting cast.
