Bryan Colangelo Resigns From Philadelphia 76ers After Twitter Scandal Colangelo had served as the 76ers’ President of Basketball Operations since April 2016. The 76ers accepted his resignation on Thursday, saying that his ability to run the team had been compromised following a report from The Ringer that Colangelo was connected to multiple anonymous Twitter accounts that criticized current and former 76ers players. The team had hired an independent firm to conduct an investigation into Colangelo and the accounts. Ultimately, they were able to determine that Colangelo’s wife, Barbara Bottini, was responsible for the account.
