Chris Ford: `Winning is what it's all about'.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Ashley McGeachy Fox
PHILADELPHIA _ His self-analysis is succinct.
"I'm simple," Chris Ford said.
A simple man, one who looks forward to the morning sun glistening on the bay outside his Margate, N.J., home, has stepped into anything but a simple situation. The 76ers' interim head coach values punctuality, practice, egoless athletes and hard work, an old-school skill set that sounds remarkably like that of another man who once implored the Sixers to play the right way.
Yet in the wake of the failed Randy Ayers experiment, the 54-year-old Ford has inherited a roster of complex personalities with injured bodies and delicate psyches whom he, with no promise of future employment, is supposed to lead into the playoffs.
It is no simple task.
After the weekend, with a loss to Indiana and a surprising victory over Minnesota, the Sixers sit at 24-36, one game out of the playoffs. New York and Sacramento are next on the schedule.
