Stefanski interviews Kurt Rambis
The 76ers have just confirmed that 76ers General Manager Ed Stefanski interviewed Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Kurt Rambis for the team's head coaching vacancy.
It is reported that the interview took place yesterday in Los Angeles. Today's interview with Dwane Casey also took place in L.A.
Rambis played in the NBA with the Lakers, Charlotte Hornets, and Phoenix Suns. His only stint as a head coach came during the strike-shortened 1998-99 season with the Los Angeles Lakers, Rambis finished that season 24-13 as the team's head coach. Rambis has also served as the Lakers assistant general manager.

Haven't seen any interviewed yet that makes me want to go see this team play. Defense wins, it always will, we need a coach who is the best at that, I wonder who that could be, maybe that guy from Boston ...— lalleva- Kate, are you a real journalist? "It is reported"; are you kidding me? Who is it reported by? If you get your leads by listening to a local sports radio station, you should at least give credit to the source. Please tell me where you got this information BEFORE confirming it with the Sixers.— ccpopper
- All right, Jef Van Gundy is happy as announcer. Stan Van Gundy (AKA Master of Panic) has panicked the Magic to a 1-0 lead over the Cavs. These guys look like schoolteachers and coach like fiends. Is there a "lost" 3rd Van Gundy brother we could hire??? If not, get Jeff- hes an east coast guy and would fit in perfectly in philly and no one would be accusing the coaching staff of not working hard enough— buff1
- I would like to see the Sixers hire Shippensburg University Asst. Coach Mike Nestor. Nestor could bring in Univ. of Delaware Asst. R.C. Kehoe and they would be the best defensive coaches in the NBA. This team needs to learn how to play D-E-F-E-N-S-E.— TylerC
