re: Doc Rivers expected to get Sixers job, Lue favorite for Clippers job

Players league. When you have coaches like doc and mike who have coached on the national team and been around these stars and have their respect, that is the way to go w a star laden team. Managing egos/relationships is by far the most important part of an nba coach job. many have failed. Best to go with the guy who you know can do it. that is why Lue was by the most coveted assistant. That is why Atkinson got run from the Nets. He had no issues when the team was a bunch of role players, but when they got stars he was outta there quick.
