Larry Brown has been relieved of his coaching duties by Michael Jordan only one year after leading the B-Cats to their first postseason appearance. Hopefully, for Larry's sake he finally puts the coaching whistle away and retires with his family to their suburban Philadelphia home. He's become the Brett Favre of coaches, hanging on for way too long.
Fans are beginning to forget his brilliance leading the Kansas Jayhawks to the NCAA champhionship in 1988 and the Detroit Pistons to the NBA championship in 2004. Instead, his career is going to become overshadowed by the debacle in New York with James Dolan and Isiah Thomas, and the recent departure in Charlotte in which he couldn't even finish out the season. Larry might be a great teacher of the game, but unfortunately the game has changed alot in the thirty plus years since he began coaching it.
