AGENT CLAIMS BROWN WILL COACH OR BE FIRED
- Angry agent Joe Glass claimed the Knicks will have to fire recuperating Larry Brown if they don't want him to coach next season because he will not accept a buyout.
As reported in yesterday's Post, owner James Dolan is seeking to buy out Brown for $25 million of the nearly $40 million he's due on his contract's remaining four years.
"There's been no discussion of a buyout and there won't be a discussion of a buyout," Glass told The Post yesterday. "We're not going to accept a settlement. He's coaching the Knicks or they're firing him - one way or another. There's not going to be a $25 million buyout.
"He wants to coach this team," Glass added.
Brown has told confidants he believes he will get fired, according to ESPN, as he has not heard directly from a club official in three weeks.
