High praise considering all the people he has coached in his long career.

Yep--heard that this morning, could barely contain my laughter at work.

Probably why we passed on him for GM.

Probably why we passed on him for GM.

If we had hired him we would have seen "Felton signed to a 4 year 60m contract" as the first thing in free agency.

I would have loved to have seen Nate's face when he read that story.

The answer to the PG question and coach question all wrapped up in one.

Give Brown the coaching gig with the authority to get the players he wants.

Under the Oregonian-enforced selection of all our players by character over talent, most of our acquisitions since the 25-point manifesto have been religious players. Like most of our team, Felton is a choirboy, so Larry Brown likes him. Pritchard's gone, and maybe his policies should go with him.

It's a poor transcription. What he actually said was "one of the fattest kids I've ever coached in my life".

Well, some great kids become not so great adults. So we could all be right.

Larry Brown is coaching at SMU. Did he finally manage to burn every single bridge in the NBA? No wonder nobody wanted to touch him.

After Michael Jordan fired him as head coach of the Charlotte Bobcats in 2010, Larry Brown says he hasn’t spoken to MJ since. Today, Brown teed off on Mike and the Bobcats’ bumbling front-office. Per the Charlotte Observer: “I understand how unfiltered Brown can be from the 2 ½ seasons I covered him coaching the Charlotte Bobcats. But I was still taken aback this morning by how emphatically he ripped his former boss, Michael Jordan, and his former coworkers in Charlotte. He went on the Dan Patrick Show Wednesday morning and of course was asked about the Bobcats’ plight. Among Brown’s comments regarding Bobcats owner Jordan and the organization that fired him in December of 2010: ‘He’s around people who don’t have a clue … He had people around me that made me sick … It was almost like they were spies

He waited what, 2-3 years unemployed, and nobody in the NBA would hire him, so he finally gave up. The last 3 or so owners of his teams ended up hating the whiner and the word got around. Wherever he goes, it's all about him, and his complaints to the media, who for some reason always feel sorry for his plaintive cries.
