Eddie Jordan Gets Callback in Philly

May 29th, 2009

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.
