LARRY BROWN RUMORS & GOSSIP
Improving Defense Has Larry Brown's Bobcats Thinking Playoffs
Don't look now, but Larry Brown and the Charlotte Bobcats are on the verge of making the playoffs for the first time in franchise history (OK, short history), and in Larry Brown's first year as head coach. OK, with a record of 34-40 we're not talking the greatest turnaround ever, but I certainly think Brown should be given credit for making them competitive, even if they...

USA Basketball Wins Gold
I'm sure nobody stayed up to watch it but the U.S. actually had a close game against Spain. They were only up 4 late in the 4th quarter when Spain just started getting frustrated and taking stupid technical fouls.
But now, order is restored and the U.S. is once again on top of the basketball world.

Bye Bye, Flip...Hello, Avery?
Despite a 64-18 record (and an Eastern Conference Finals exit) in 2007-2008, the Detroit Pistons decided to part ways with Flip Saunders today. While with the Pistons, Saunders had 176 wins to only 70 losses, but lost in the Eastern Conference Finals each year.

Larry Brown ALMOST Coach With The Celtics
Here's an article entitled, "We ALMOST Got To See Larry Brown Punch Doc Rivers In The Face On Live TV", which is hilarious by itself.
It's about how Doc Rivers and the Celtics nearly hired Larry Brown to be an Assistant this summer, but Brown eventually turned them down when the Sixers offered him his VP in charge of basketball position. VERY INTERESTING!
