Sixers Hire Jordan

As I was watching the Phillies-Nationals game, an alert was put on Comcast Sportsnet reporting that the Sixers have found their new head coach. Eddie Jordan will be the coach for the 76ers next year. Jordan has coached part of eight seasons in the NBA, with the Kings and Wizards. So Jordan definitely has the experience.

Jordan made the playoffs with the Wizards four consecutive seasons, form 2005 to 2008. But he has only reached the second round once in his career. His best season was in 2005 when he lead the Wizards to 45 wins and made it to the second round.

Do I think this is a good hire? Well, you can't really tell until next season. I am not going to come and say that this is a great hire or a mistake. We simply don't know until the next season.
