Sixers interview Rockets assistant Turner

The Sixers never-ending search for a new coach landed on Houston Rockets assistant Elston Turner, who interviewed with Ed Stefanski  in Philadelphia today.

"Elston has almost 15 years of experience as a assistant coach - most of which came under Rick Adelman, who trusted him with major responsibilities on both ends of the court, with a focus on defense - and he has experienced success at every stop during his NBA career," Stefanski said. "I want to thank Elston for taking the time to speak with us today.

"We will continue to evaluate the candidates and proceed with our due diligence in order to make an informed and objective decision regarding our next head coach."

Doug Collins is Stefanski's first choice but the embattled Sixers' GM can't make a move until Ed Snider gives the OK.
