Ayers Names Assistant Coaches
Philadelphia, Pa. - July 10, 2003 - Philadelphia 76ers Head Coach Randy Ayers
announced today that he has hired Chris Ford as an assistant bench coach and
Chris Jent as assistant coach/player development, and promoted Bob Bender to
assistant bench coach and elevated Frank Zanin to assistant coach/advance
scout. Ayers expects to complete his coaching staff with an additional hire
at a later date. Per team policy, terms of the contracts are not disclosed.
“Chris (Ford) is a great addition to our staff. He has a tremendous background
as a player and coach. He knows how to prepare and win at this level, which is
evident with his success earning three championship rings. He has coached some
of the best that ever played,” Ayers said. “I have always respected Bob
(Bender) going back to when he was a head coach at Illinois State and (the
University of) Washington, and I am excited about having him return to our
staff next season. Chris (Jent) was one of my favorite players to coach at Ohio
State, and he has a tremendous work ethic. And Frank (Zanin) has worked
tirelessly for us the past three years, and I look forward to his continued
contributions.”
Ford, 54, has served as a head coach with the Boston Celtics (1990-91 to
1994-95), Milwaukee Bucks (1996-97 to 1997-98) and L.A. Clippers (1998-99 to
1999-2000), and most recently, the last two seasons as the head coach at
Brandeis University. In 1991 and 1992, he led his Celtics’ squads with Larry
Bird, Robert Parish and Kevin McHale to first place finishes in the Atlantic
Division. A second round selection by the Detroit Pistons in the 1972 NBA Draft,
Ford played with the Pistons from the 1972-73 season until he was traded to
Boston on Oct. 19, 1978. With the Celtics, Ford would get the first of three
NBA Championship rings, the first as a player in 1981, and the other two as an
assistant coach in 1984 and 1986. Ford averaged 9.2 points, 3.4 assists and 3.0
rebounds in his 10-year playing career. Ford has strong ties to the Delaware
Valley, playing at Villanova University from 1968-72, and is a member of the
Wildcats Hall of Fame. A native of Atlantic City, N.J., Ford attended Holy
Spirit High School in Absecon, N.J.
Jent, 33, joins the Sixers staff with 10 years of experience of as a
professional basketball player, including three seasons in the NBA. In addition
to his assisting coaching duties, Jent will assist in the development of
players during the regular season and in the off-season. During his three-year
NBA career, Jent, a member of the 1993-94 Houston Rockets NBA Championship
team, spent two seasons with the Houston Rockets (1993-94 and 1994-95),
spending the 1994-95 season on the injured list, and also played for the New
York Knicks (1996-97). As a four-year player at Ohio State from 1988-92, Jent
played in 123 games as a Buckeye, scoring 1,007 points, while shooting 38.2
percent (112-for-293) from three-point range. His 112 three-point field goals
ranks seventh all-time in the Buckeyes record books. Ayers served as an
assistant on the Buckeyes’ coaching staff during Jent’s freshman season and
was elevated to head coach for Jent’s final three seasons in Columbus, Ohio,
a three-year span that the Buckeyes made three consecutive NCAA Tournament
appearances and captured back-to-back Big Ten Championships. He recently served
as the head coach for the West Hill High School varsity boys’ basketball team
in Stamford, Conn., for the 2002-03 season.
Bender, 46, returns for his second season with the Sixers after serving as
assistant coach/player development last year. Prior to joining the Sixers
staff, Bender was a head coach at the collegiate level for 13 years, including
a nine-year stint at the University of Washington where he guided the Huskies
to a 116-142 record, finishing his tenure ranked fourth all-time with 116
career wins. The 1996 Pac-10 Coach of the Year became the first Washington
head coach to lead the Huskies to four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances
from 1996 to 1999. Bender’s 1998 Husky squad, which featured Sixer Todd
MacCulloch, posted a 20-10 (.667) record that marked the school's best winning
percentage since the 1985 season. A 1980 Duke graduate, Bender served as an
assistant coach at his alma mater under Mike Krzyewski from 1983-89, before
beginning his four-year head coaching tenure at Illinois State (1990-93),
where he helped the Redbirds earn two Missouri Valley Conference championships
one conference tournament title and a trip to the 1990 NCAA Tournament.
As the Sixers Video Coordinator the past three seasons, Zanin, 25, assisted the
coaching staff by preparing scouting tapes for the upcoming opponents. His
responsibilities included recording games for scouting purposes, providing
scout tapes to the team and coaching staff, as well as putting together player
personnel tapes. A graduate of West Chester University in 1999 with a degree in
business management, Zanin played basketball for the Golden Rams from 1995-99,
helping West Chester to a 74-37 record and an appearance in the 1999 Division
II NCAA Tournament. His brother, T.J. Zanin, has been the video coordinator for
the Memphis Grizzlies for past two seasons.
