The Sixers have officially added Jeff Capel to Doug Collins’
staff as an assistant coach.
Capel was previously an assistant with the
Charlotte Bobcats, a position he held since their inaugural season in
2004-05.
In his last full season with
Charlotte in
2009-10, Capel was a member of Larry Brown’s staff and helped guide the Bobcats
to a franchise-record 44 wins and their first playoff appearance. That season,
Charlotte led
the league in fewest points allowed and ranked sixth in opponent’s field goal
percentage.
Prior to joining the Bobcats,
Capel was head coach of the Fayetteville Patriots of the NBA Development League
and guided the team to the D-League Finals in his first full season in 2002-03.
At the collegiate level, Capel
spent 12 years as head coach of Fayetteville State, North Carolina A&T and
Old Dominion, posting a combined mark of 201-162
(.554).
Capel’s son Jason is in his second
season as the head men’s basketball coach at Appalachian State University while
his older son, Jeff Capel III, serves as an assistant coach on Mike Krzyzewski’s
staff at Duke. Doug Collins’ son Chris is the associate head coach at Duke.
