Doug Collins resigns as Sixers coach

Collins is out as coach, but will stay with the Sixers as a consultant.

Doug Collins has resigned as head coach of the Sixers, according to owner Joshua Harris. The move was reported last weekend, but became official Thursday morning when the team held its end-of-season wrap-up session with the media.

Collins, who is still highly regarded by the front office, will stay with the Sixers in a consulting position. The search for a new coach begins immediately.
