Sixers Coaching Search 2009: Update on Casey, Johnson, Van Gundy and Rambis

Posted by Mike Santa Barbara On May - 28 - 2009
  •  According to a source within the Dallas Mavericks organization, Dwayne Casey currently an assistant with Dallas came to Philadelphia this weekend for a 2nd interview. The source said Casey met with GM Ed Stefanski and Peter Luukko the Sixers President. 

             Casey is the first candidate to be granted a second interview. 

  • According to The Philadelphia Daily News the Sixers have contacted Avery Johnson for the vacant head coaching position. There is speculation that Johnson appeared  uninterested in the Sixer job because he didn’t want to be a part of “wide-ranging search.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
  • There are whispers from some in the NBA world that the Sixers may soon be contacting Jeff Van Gundy.
  • The Sixers are no longer entertaining the thought of bringing in Laker assistant Kurt Rambis as head coach.
