    It was just reported on ESPN. I dont have a link yet, but I will post one later. BUT, they said that Larry Brown was interested in coaching for the Kings.

    EDIT:

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Larry Brown, the veteran NBA vagabond coach who had a disappointing single season coaching the New York Knicks in his most recent stint on the bench, would be interested in getting back into coaching with the Sacramento Kings, a newspaper reported.

    "I want to get back," Brown told the Sacramento Bee from his home in Philadelphia. "I miss it terribly. I haven't lost the passion to teach and coach. I don't want to end my career at 23-59. I feel I can do better. I look at Sacramento ... I respect the heck out of Geoff [Petrie]. I coached half that team. I don't mind going somewhere that's rebuilding, but wherever I go, I want everybody to feel that I'm the right person."

    Brown joined the Philadelphia 76ers as executive vice president in January after being fired after one season by the Knicks. Brown, 66, has coached 11 teams in the ABA, NCAA and NBA. He won an NCAA championship at Kansas (1988) and an NBA title in Detroit (2004). He also coached at UCLA.

    Recently, Brown has been considered a possible replacement for open head coaching jobs in Charlotte and Memphis before those positions were filled.

    The Associated Press contributed to this report.
