Sounds like either the Knicks or Bulls found their new coach. For one reason or another, I'd be not surprised if the Knicks were the ones who bit.

Why the hell would they want Brown back? If you remember Larry Brown was the demise of that franchise before Isaiah became the coach.

Different GM and different players more likely than not.

This is in local paper

He's coming to...Stanford (maybe)....

http://www.mercurynews.com/timkawakami/ci_9036998

Close your eyes and imagine Larry Brown on the Stanford sideline, gesturing at his point guard, tossing up his hands and moaning about all those great athletes Mike Montgomery gets to recruit to Cal.

Larry Being Larry at Stanford. Oh, that would be amazing to see and hear.

It won't happen, of course. Wrong profile, wrong history, wrong temperament, wrong everything. How could it happen?

No question, Lawrence Harvey Brown is the last coach I'd ever contemplate as a serious candidate at Stanford.

But maybe that's exactly where Athletic Director Bob Bowlsby finds himself at this panicky moment. He's groping for ideas and hoping for an 11th-hour coaching superstar to drop in his lap to save Stanford from the disastrous departure of Trent Johnson.
The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.

Who can we get to fill that critical executive vice president position?

Never comprehended what he was doing here on this last shift, loved him when he coached back in the "wheres my coach" years. But for now I hope teams tell him no thanks,
