Jazz eyeing Green; Loyer to join staff

July 5, 2005

Green and John Loyer already are feeling a domino effect in their respective professions in the NBA.

Green, the 76ers' restricted free-agent guard, has drawn interest from the, which is seeking a replacement for, the former Sixer who has an agreement in principle to join the Noah Croom, Green's agent, confirmed that he has fielded a phone call from Jazz senior vice president of basketball operations Kevin O'Connor and said they could have another conversation as soon as today to gauge the level of interest.

Green was listed with a salary of $620,046 this season. Sixers president/general manager Billy King has said repeatedly that he fully intended to match any offers for Green, and. The Sixers can match offers for Green and Korver up to the average league salary, which is expected to be about $5 million. There are no limitations on their ability to match offers for Dalembert.

King confirmed that Loyer, who spent the last five seasons with the organization, would be joining the Sixers as an assistant coach. New coach Maurice Cheeks already has brought along Bernie Smith from his Blazers staff, welcomed back former Sixers assistant John Kuester and has been awaiting a decision from former Sixers star Andrew Toney.

That would indicate that when Jim O'Brien was fired as Sixers coach after the season, it was equally the end of his staff: Dick Harter, Lester Conner, Joe Gallagher and Frank Vogel.

Loyer spent two seasons as an advance scout, one season as a video coordinator and two seasons as an assistant coach with the Blazers. He spent 12 seasons on the collegiate level at Wabash Valley (Mount Carmel, Ill.), Akron and Cincinnati.

And a tough finish for him in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. 

 

This ain’t high school anymore ribbon goes to . . . Foster Loyer. The Michigan State freshman was a 90 percent free throw shooter in high school and once made 119 in a row. He was at the line with 36 seconds left at Louisville, the Spartans ahead by a point and badly needing some breathing room. Miss.
