With no statistical proof to back it up? I mean, wouldn't the fellows who won titles in Philly have something to say about that?

Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA -- The best coach the Philadelphia 76ers had is going to spend his days in the front office instead of on the bench.

Larry Brown was rehired by Philadelphia as an executive vice president on Saturday, a return to the organization he coached to its last trip to the NBA Finals, and stoking speculation that he'll eventually replace coach Maurice Cheeks and revive one of the worst teams in the NBA.

And this time, Brown won't have to clash with Allen Iverson.

Nearly three weeks after Philadelphia traded away the player who tormented him during much of his six years as their coach, Brown is back at a familiar stop in his vagabond career. He will assist team president Billy King and the basketball operations department, and work on special projects.

The guy who coached the best in Philly was Billy Cunningham.

But even you have to admit, they played the game the right way.

Alex Hannum might be in the conversation, too.

Still, the lead is horribly written. Is he the best coach in Sixers' history? The best coach who has graced the Sixers' bench?
