OT: Larry Brown steps down at SMU

[IthacaMatt]

Agreed, one of the best coaches in the modern era for sure but yeah always had issues off court and in the NBA had issues as well

I've felt like his coaching has been overrated for years. His turn as Olympics coach, which should have been his best moment because it was just about the coaching, was an utter disaster.

He kept Melo on the bench.

 

[dasher]

from the Dana O'Neil article on him stepping down:
"...The school, at least, realized that with Brown there is no such thing as a long-term commitment, and that Jankovich wasn't going to be Mike Hopkins, the Prince Charles of college hoops forever waiting for Syracuse King Jim Boeheim to resign."

Should have said waiting for King Jim Boeheim to retire not resign.

Should have said waiting for King Jim Boeheim to retire not resign.

or "abdicate"
