................................ <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">So Larry Brown might be available once more as an NBA coach, if the New York Knicks decide to buy out his contract after one awful season. Coincidentally, the Charlotte Bobcats will need a coach before too long. Bernie Bickerstaff, the team's coach and general manager, will give up his coaching duties at some point -- maybe in the next couple of weeks, certainly in the next couple of years. Brown is enshrined in basketball's Hall of Fame. He's won both NBA and NCAA championships as a coach. He graduated from North Carolina, once coached the American Basketball Association's Carolina Cougars (who played some home games in Charlotte) and still has connections all over the state. Should Brown be the next Charlotte Bobcats coach? <font color=""Red"">Absolutely not.</font> Brown, 65, is not what the Bobcats need, even though some reports out of New York have speculated otherwise. Brown's "tortured genius" persona -- by turns irritating and admirable for so many years -- has worn thin. I don't think he would take the Bobcats very far, and there's no doubt he wouldn't take them for very long. Here's the main problem besides Brown's nomadic obsession: Although still a superb X-and-O guy, Brown just doesn't get along with enough people anymore. Of the past three teams he has coached -- the Detroit Pistons, the 2004 U.S. Olympic team and now the Knicks -- two have imploded. In Detroit, where he had huge success, he angered enough people that he and the Pistons parted ways after only two seasons. </div> link: http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/spo...ts/14597269.htm
Yeah i dont think Larry would come to the Bobcats, let alone him being a good fit. Plus didn't Larry say the Knicks would be his last stop? Now I don't know a lot of the coaching situation for the 'Cats, but one coach i've heard many rumors flying around the league in returning to the NBA is Don Nelson. You remember, former Head Coach of the Dallas Mavericks. All though an offensive minded coach, he completely turned around that franchise. He might be a good fit for Charlotte

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting BigBadWolf:</div><div class="quote_post">why would anyone want larry now?</div> Why wouldn't you want Larry? He's still a great coach, I don't think any coach could have gotten the Knicks 20 wins last year.
I don't want Larry coaching for us. He doesn't seem to like playing the younger guys and this team is full of them. You have Felton, Okafor, GW, May all of who get signifigant PT when healthy, and they are all very young too. Brown does love BK, but if he came here BK would probably be the starting PG and Felton wouldn't start but rather be the backup PG. I watched most of the games during the second half of the season and I think it's time to hand over the starting position to Felton. He played just as good as if not better than Chris Paul in my opinion during the second half of the season when he started and played the majority of the game.
