Larry Brown

I played for this great coach for two years in Indiana and what i found out early is that he is the smartest, moody, stubborn, unmoving, my way or the highway coach i have ever seen. Do i wish i had him at 22? yes. Did he drive me nuts as a 36 year old player? yes

What Brown does is breakdown your strengths and weaknesses and really focuses in on your weak points or parts of your strong points that he wants to change. It is enough to drive you crazy at times.

He wants to take credit for improving what you have not shown as a player up to date so you can play his way. If you fight him and don't show a willingness to change, he will break down your confidence to rock bottom by berating you and playing you inconsistent minutes until you have no choice but to adhere to his wishes and try and change your game to the right way. If you continue to fight he will try his best to get you off his team.

Now you know why Larry likes playing rookies. Rookies come in hungry and will listen and be taught his way. Veterans fight the urge.

One wonders why Brown wanted to leave the Pistons? well now you know, he likes the unstable life, but now it's at the expense of the New York Knicks.

How else can you explain the inconsistent line-ups and rotations that he employed early in the season.

Quite frankly he has dug a hole with the confidence level of this team and now he is struggling to get it back.

Brown likes playing rookies? First time I heard that.

maybe in his younger days, probably clippers or maybe early Pacers

What i'm wondering though is how did brown get credited for helping Piston win the championship when Carlisle built the foundation and Brown didn't make any additional changes to the system
