In contrast to this wonderful season, Philadelphia 76ers fans are outspoken in their criticism of head coach Brett Brown. The reasons for this, however, are not as concrete as you’d think.

It seems that Philadelphia 76ers fans can never be happy. Despite a 45-25 record and quality road wins against the Golden State Warriors and Milwaukee Bucks, people are still highly critical of head coach Brett Brown.

Everyone’s heard the same gripes. The story has gotten old, but it keeps manifesting as word spreads. The narrative of Brown’s incompetence is not based in much fact, more so in murmurs that enlarge as people entertain them.

It’s no coincidence that Brown went on The Lowe Post last week. People are calling for his head, overshadowing the greatness of this season.

There are many critiques that fans around the league have with their own coaches, but it seems like Sixers fans are extra critical of theirs, despite tangible success.

For those who appreciate Brown’s impact, good job! For everyone else, let’s outline the most popular quarrels with Brown’s job as head coach. From there, it’s easy to debunk, or at least justify, all of them.
