Larry Brown: Assumed Gone

[ckad79]

Thought Brown would stay if this were Jordan's team????

Look, if this was Shinn's team... Brown wouldn't have even talked to us about the possibility!

Try to respect some of the positives Jordan brings and be just a little happy about it. Thanks.

I really do feel that Brown wants to be back. I think he loves working with Jordan and also - deep down - considers the Bobcats an incomplete project. What I mean by that, is that he's always turned around clubs that he's coached and the Bobcats aren't there yet (especially after being swept in round one). I don't think this is how he wants to end his career. I don't think Brown wants to walk away like this. I really don't.

Still, family is family. I can completely understand. The fact that he spent this year away from his wife and kids, proves just how much respect he has for Jordan and how badly he wants to work with him. At the same time, sometimes things just end because they have to...

Maybe it's time Brown retired? Or maybe he returns to Philly for one more year, is close to wife and ends a relationship with Iverson on a positive note? What he decides to do, I'll respect it and miss him.

BUT never forget that Larry Brown, a hall of fame coach was willing to coach such a young franchise with a struggling fanbase! We weren't a pretty situation.

I know Jordan and only Jordan would have the power to make that happen! Shinn gave us Allen Bristow. Jordan landed us Brown. Be thankful. That is all.

I think he will be back. That guy is all heart when it comes to coaching. If he left the Cats in the state they are in now, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Doug Collins to Philly. So that is now ruled out as a destination for LB. Unless it's a GM. But I am sure he wants to coach and it is looking more and more likely he'll be back which is great.

If Brown is gone (I think he will return), they should get Paul Silas. This guy was the best coach ever for the Hornets & he can help us win games. I know he did very well when he went to Cleveland at the time they first got LeBron.
