Monty Williams going to interview with Sixers

[SlyPokerDog]

"The 76ers, widening their search for a new coach, are planning an interview with Portland Trail Blazers assistant Monty Williams, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

They have not officially scheduled a meeting, in part because they have yet to get permission from the Blazers.

At the same time, they are waiting for ESPN analyst Mark Jackson, already scheduled to meet with the New Orleans Hornets and drawing interest from other teams, to determine whether he wants to follow through on his plan to meet with the Sixers.

The Sixers had planned to interview Jackson, who has never coached, but had not yet finalized a time and place."

Wow, seems like Monty is this years hot coaching prospect.

I don't know that he is a hot coaching prospect. Looking at the list of candidates for the NO job it seems like his chances are slim. If he interviews for the Sixers job that would be great. He has earned a chance to interview at the very least. If he does get one of the coaching jobs it wold for sure be that teams gain and our loss.

Yea but I would feel bad if he went to the Sixers. They set their coaches up to fail for the most part.

Best of luck to Monty where ever he lands, I'm sure Nic will miss him and his tutelage.
