According to this article, (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ap-source-bobcats-trim-coaching-121716052--nba.html;_ylt=Ah6NRS5T61.UXBjrs71ITpi8vLYF) Quinn Snyder is one of three finalists for the Bobcats head coaching job.


Snyder is perhaps the most surprising of the three finalists.

Prior to joining the Lakers, Snyder was in charge of player development for the Philadelphia 76ers.

He also coached the NBDL's Austin Toros for three seasons and was head coach Missouri from 1999-2006. He began his career as an assistant coach at Duke, his alma mater, under Mike Krzyzewski in 1993. He also worked as an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Clippers for one season under former Bobcats coach Larry Brown.


According to this article (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--sixers-discuss-front-office-job-with-danny-ferry.html;_ylt=AhAiE9cdezkOp8LXXJxNfcK8vLYF), Danny Ferry is one of the leading contenders to become the next GM/President of the Sixers. Honorary Dukie (because of his son), Doug Collins is leading the effort to bring Ferry in.


Danny Ferry, a front-office executive with the San Antonio Spurs, met with 76ers owners in Philadelphia over the weekend to discuss a president/general manager’s job, sources said. Ferry has emerged as the frontrunner for the position, but still hasn’t been sold that the possible job structure makes sense for him to depart a comfortable situation under Spurs GM RC Buford.

Collins has been a strong advocate for Ferry’s candidacy, sources said.
