New Philadelphia 76ers head coach Brett Brown wasted no time in determining that none of the assistant coaches would be on his staff.

“I’m doing that for obvious reasons,” Brown told The Philadelphia Inquirer. “I want to hire my own staff and have a clean start going in that direction. … I feel like it’s important that I come in with my own staff and start fresh and try to rebuild.”

Jeff Capel, Michael Curry and Aaron McKie have one-year remaining on their contracts and there is no word if GM Sam Hinkie plans to re-assign them to another area of basketball operations or he will just let them go.

“You don’t make that call very lightly at all,” Brown said of informing the assistants they were released. “It’s a very difficult call. And I make it with appreciation and respect for what they have done.”
