As expected, it didn't take long for rumors of Larry Brown's next job to begin circulating. As the only coach to win both an NCAA and NBA title, word on the street is that Larry Brown is thinking of returning to coach college basketball. Of course, before than, some linked him to the new coaching spot the Pacers recently had. Some have even suggested that, with a potentially shorten season during 2011-2012, that a team may pick him up just for giggles. Which college teams at this point are not known, although there seems to be false rumors linking Brown with Arkansas. Brown is a talented coach, and while many here became very disgruntled with him, we shouldn't forget he's still a good coach, and definitely contributed to Bobcats history. What gets me about the article is how it states that Brown is now willing to move his family where his next coaching job is. Why couldn't he have just moved them to Charlotte this past year, lol?
Larry Brown covers a variety of topics including the team's off-season moves, training camp, their current situation at PG and C, trade rumors, season expectations, and more.
If in two years we need another 70+ year old coach to replace our current 70+ year old coach, we could turn to Larry Brown's first assistant coach with the Carolina Cougars. "One time I sent him to scout a team, and he came back with no notes," says... Larry Brown, Moe's good friend and old North Carolina teammate. Brown was referring to the 1972-73 and '73-74 seasons when he was coach of the American Basketball Association's Carolina Cougars and Moe was his assistant. "He walked into practice, and the only thing he said was 'If we can't beat those guys, we shouldn't be in coaching.' " Moe is currently an assistant coach with the Denver Nuggets.
I'm packing for a trip tonight, so if any of you have the time to draw up Larry Brown's coaching tree and post it to Flickr or something, that would be amazing.
