Out of Town Brown

So well said:

"NBA commissioner David Stern was irate, showing up at the Olympics to make sure he showered the players with praise and banging Brown for his deplorable dissertations. As always, Brown demands out of his teams what he never demands of himself: Loyalty, commitment and selflessness. It's hilarious to hear him talk about the piety of the coaching profession, as though he has the credibility of Dean Smith to address rights and wrongs in the business. He leaves behind hard feelings, like he does broken promises and commitments.

However the season ends, it promises to end with Brown running again, from his old team, from the truth, and from his responsibilities to behave like a Hall of Famer. As that old Nets fan, Frank Capece, told me, "You know what you're getting with him. It's kind of like we dated the town's flirt, and you knew she was going to be a tease, and eventually, she was going to leave you. You know what you're getting with Larry."
