The Sixers will name Doug Collins as the team's next head coach on Friday after agreeing to terms on a contract.
According to several sources, Collins will be introduced as early as Monday. A report from the Philadelphia Daily News says the deal is for four years, although financial terms were not disclosed.
The 58-year-old Collins, currently an analyst for TNT, coached the Bulls (1986-89), Detroit Pistons (1995-98) and Washington Wizards (2001-03) and has a career mark of 332-287. His teams have been to the playoffs five times, going as far as the conference finals with the Bulls in the 1988-89 season. He was then replaced by his assistant, Phil Jackson.
Collins spent his entire NBA playing career with the 76ers (1973-81) and averaged 17.9 points a game. He was the No. 1 overall draft pick in 1973.
