Collins interested in Sixers

Doug Collins would be interested in coaching the Sixers, according to The Philadelphia Daily News.

However, Collins' agent, John Langel, told Phil Jasner that neither he nor Collins had, in any way, contacted the Sixers, nor had there been any contact from the Sixers.

"Certainly last year, he had an interest [in coaching]," Langel told Jasner. "He said if the right situation ever arose, he would be intrigued, but it would have to be the right situation, the right group of players. But he does not seek positions, particularly when someone is already in that position with a team; he has a good relationship with Tony DiLeo and has great respect for him and the job he has done.

"At this point, Doug is totally invested in his broadcasting career, but has, as he has done in the past, left the door open."

Sixers GM Ed Stefanski has yet to make a decision on the future of Tony DiLeo after the team's Game 6 debacle against Orlando.

DiLeo moved from his position as senior vice president of basketball operations/assistant general manager to succeed the fired Maurice Cheeks after 23 games this season.
