A source close to the 76ers has confirmed that Sixers head coach Maurice Cheeks has been fired and the interim coach will be Tony DiLeo, who is currently the Senior Vice President and Assistant General Manager.

DiLeo will coach tonight's home game against the Washington Wizards and, a source close to the Sixers confirmed that DiLeo will coach the team through the end of the season.

The official word coming from the Sixers at this point in "no comment."

The Sixers have struggled through the first quarter of the season, starting a surprising 9-14.

During the off season, the Sixers extended Cheeks contract through the 2009-2010 season. But, because of the significant rise in expectations after the off-season addition of All-Star power forward Elton Brand, the leash on Cheeks was short.

Cheeks was in his fourth season as Sixers head coach. He had an overall record of 122-147.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I think the Bucs and Eagles take care of us but we turn around and beat the Cowboys.  ATL and/or AZ could be wins depending on which version of them you get. TB knows Canales’ offense, and Coen has been calling great games. I have a hard time seeing us beat them this season. 4-13 floor 6-11 ceiling, would be surprised to see 7-10

      Team is looking good for next season

      My conundrum right now is, even if we have the top pick, I'm not sure if any QB in this year's draft class excites me. Too much questions with them for me to be comfortable handing the reigns for now. Even in FA, the QB class doesn't look enticing. At this point, the smarter move may be to see if Bryce can hit his pre-draft potential and start looking more like a franchise QB consistently while building up our weak points on defense.  Just not confident in the upcoming QB draft class this year would do any better than current Bryce, and that's with me questioning if Young can keep up this level of play.
