portega1968 said:I doubt Larry will coach this year. Herb will be named head coach, kinda last chance to prove himself. If he fails this year, Larry will be waiting, probably sooner than later.Knicks should let this play out so they don't have to compensate Detroit with a pick.
Trin_Starr said:Larry Brown is going to coach the knicks this upcoming season.
He has made it very clear to Detroit that he wants to come back to coach them next season, but Detroit Mgt. do not want him back.
This means that health wise - he is fine, willing and able.
It also means that by saying that he wants to coach Detroit again implies that the only way Detroit can get rid of him is to fire him, which is what he wants. He will not agree to a buyout because it will prevent him from coaching another team for a season.
He is a great coach but also a very shrewd businessman.
Brown's agent told the NYpost that Detroit has fired him which means that brown can take up any job he wants aka the knicks.
So expect to see him on the sidelines this 05/06 season.
As for Herb, his contract states that when his head coaching term ends in August, he will return to the sidelines as an assistant coach if he is not made the knicks full-time coach.
This is good because, if Larry does miss a few games because of his health, Herb can pick up the slack in the interim.
