ABC did a nice half-time piece on Brown, with an interview and everything, but every bit of it was fluff.
He says he did right by every employer, but we all know that's not true. Until Detoit, every place he's been he left unfinished business and many times unfinished contracts. NJ, San Diego, Indiana, Philadelphia. Made every one of those teams better, but never got any of them a championship (although at least he got the Sixers there, practically a miracle!)
But he bailed on Philly. Just gave up and walked away, to a team that beat his in the playoffs. Loyalty? Larry's loyalty is to himself. He cries about his father leaving when he was little, but how much does he stay in touch with his brother?
And especially with the distaction of him possibly leaving to become Cleavlands GM (Which should never, ever have become news while a team he's coaching is still in the playoffs!) says to me that Larry deserves to be raked over the coals instead of being given a fluff piece. But this is jounalism nowadays- save the hard stories for guys like Kobe, a punk who really should know better but doesn't, instead of Larry Brown, a real old school guy who does know better, but disses everyone of his old teams.
Good coach, yes, but a weasel of a human being who never saw a spotlight or a microphone he didn't like.
