Former Washington Wizards Coach Eddie Jordan is back in Philly for a second interview with the up-and-coming 76ers, Sports Illustrated reports. A Philadelphia insider confirmed reports that Jordan, who was axed by the Wizards in November, is one of the few coaching candidates called back for a second chat with team President Ed Stefanski and other Sixers brass. The other callbacks were Boston Celtics assistant Tom Thibodeau and Sixers team scout Chris Ford, according to SI.com. “He’s narrowing it down,” said Peter Luukko, COO of Comcast-Spectacor. “I’m sure we’ll be with it in the near future. There’s no deadline, but we want to be done by the draft (June 25). We’re getting closer.” The search has been on since Tony DiLeo, who replaced fired coach Maurice Cheeks, headed back to the front office on May 11.

Eddie Jordan, former Washington Wizards coach, could be heading to Philadelphia. Sports Illustrated reports that he will be interviewing with the 76ers today. The slot opened midway through the season when the team fired former Philly guard Maurice Cheeks. Jordan was himself fired from his coaching job in November; he interviewed with the Sacramento Kings earlier this week. The Sixers finished 41-41 this season, 32-27 under Cheeks’ replacement, Tony DiLeo, who returned to the front office as vice president and assistant general manager this week.
