Larry Brown says he was "flattered" to be offered the head coaching job with the D-League Colorado 14ers, but the former Knicks coach turned down the opportunity to work in the NBA minor league because of family considerations.


"If it was okay with my wife it would have been something to consider," Brown said yesterday by phone. "It is the type of job where you can help develop kids."

The Denver Post reported on Thursday that Gary Hunter - the president and CEO of the 14ers' parent company, Broomfield Sports - offered Brown the job. The 14ers are affiliated with the Denver Nuggets, the Nets and the Toronto Raptors. The job would have given Brown the chance to return to the Denver area - he coached the Nuggets from 1974-79 - and work closely with his good friends, Denver coach George Karl and assistant Doug Moe.

Whipped and loving it

Lets be honest. If you were that old and you had a wife that cute and that much younger then you, you'd pass on coaching a minor league team if she insisted too :)
