One day after the Philadelphia 76ers were eliminated from the NBA playoffs, president of basketball operations Daryl Morey made it clear he wants Doc Rivers to return as coach. Morey put those thoughts to rest when asked whether he wanted Rivers to return as coach. “I just think he’s a great coach and I love working with him,” Morey said of Rivers. That’s on myself, that’s on Elton [Brand], that’s on Coach Rivers. Rivers has a 1,043-735 record (58.7 winning percentage) in 23 seasons as a head coach in the NBA.
