<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Sometimes when Jeff Foster has an idea for training camp next season, he takes it to assistant coach Mike Brown. But then he cuts himself short and says, "Oh, wait. You won't be here then." Foster isn't alone. The widespread assumption around the Indiana Pacers is that Brown's days with the franchise are numbered. He's only 33, and he's been with them for only one season, but he's already regarded as a prime candidate for a head coaching job somewhere in the NBA. Jobs fly open in flurries, and only so many established coaches are available. Eventually some brave team has no choice but to dip into the pool of unproven candidates and give someone a chance. A lot of people believe Brown will be one of those guys. If not this summer, soon. He believes he's ready. Ready enough, at least. "I don't know if you're ever really ready in this business," he said. "But if you have the opportunity, you have to seize the moment. You're going to make mistakes. You've just got to be confident enough in yourself you'll figure a way to get through. "Am I ready? I don't know. Will I take on the challenge if I get the opportunity? Hell, yes."</div> http://www.indystar.com/articles/7/143033-2727-179.html
