2. Loyalty through “The Process”

Quite frankly, you have to admire Brett Brown to a certain extent. How many NBA coaches (or guys who would be considered a candidate for a coaching position) would have behaved in front of the media and on the sidelines in the manner that Brown has over his tenure with the Sixers? The answer is not a whole lot, which speaks volumes about Brown’s character and loyalty to the organization.

Brown has simply gone out game after game and done his job to the best of his abilities. Never mind the fact that many of the backcourts that he’s been commissioned to coach in Philly might not be a starting duo for some D-League teams; Brown has made adjustments and tried his damnedest to make the best out of the situation and believe in Hinkie’s plans for the franchise.

If you’re the Sixers and have obviously fully committed to this mythical “Process,” then rewarding a head coach who has bought into arguably more than anyone else involved in the NBA is the right move. These are incredibly turbulent times for the organization and causing a head coach to lose his job because of the position that the front office has put him in doesn’t make any sense and is an awful look for the franchise. Subsequently, keeping him on was the right move to keep up appearances.
