Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 4243333, member: 127"] Part of Bates lure to Memphis may have been Larry Brown, who is an assistant on the staff. If you ever read about Brown, a hall of fame coach, his patience with playing, developing young players (read about his Olympic even some NBA stints) is pretty thin. He rarely would play rookie, young players preferring a much longer development to phase in his young athletes. No doubt an excellent coach but a very divisive one too. [/QUOTE]
