From the New York Daily News:

The Sixers have decided to hire San Antonio assistant coach Brett Brown as their new head coach, the Daily News has learned.

Brown, who played his college basketball at Boston University under Rick Pitino, is the second Spurs assistant to land a head coaching job this off-season. No. 1 assistant Mike Budenholzer was hired by the Atlanta Hawks to replace Larry Drew.

Hinkie is a busy man tonight.
