Larry Brown:"I'm in this for the Long Haul"
Sure, Larry.
 Nice job, Scott Layden and Isiah Thomas. What team chemistry! Just Like mixing whiskey with ovaltine. Quote:

Re: Larry Brown:"I'm in this for the Long Haul"
Isn't five minutes a "long haul" to Brown?

Re: Larry Brown:"I'm in this for the Long Haul"
I was listening to talk about the Knicks and their woeful record and high team salary on ESPN Radio the other day. It made me wonder...
Has Isiah Thomas ever done a great job at anything in b-ball management after his pro playing career ended? I remember reading stories about how he about ran the CBA into the ground. Here is his post-playing resume: Pro Coaching: Indiana Pacers (2000 - 2003) * Led the Pacers to the Playoffs in each of his three seasons. * Fired following the 2002-2003 season (August 27, 2003) * Posted records of 41-41, 42-40 and 48-34. Other Highlights: * Part owner, and Executive Vice President, Toronto Raptors, 1994-1998 * Majority Owner, Continental Basketball Association, 1998-2000 * Named President, Basketball Operations, New York Knicks, December 22, 2003 I am not an anti-Isiah type. I really do not care one way or the other. Is he overrated as a basketball management type?

Re: Larry Brown:"I'm in this for the Long Haul"
The Larry Brown thing is the weirdest thing. I will never understand why he's so compelled to move all the time. It's surreal. Great coach, nice guy (I've met him a couple of times), but just plain weird when it comes to moving all the time. If I owned a team, as a great a coach as he is, I wouldn't want him. Because it would be a quick-fix. I know I could count on him being gone in 2-3 years.
Do you think he's kicking himself for leaving the Pistons right now? Or to him, is it all about the money and the move?

Re: Larry Brown:"I'm in this for the Long Haul"
He wants to coach all 30 teams before he's done maybe?

Re: Larry Brown:"I'm in this for the Long Haul"
Which means he wants to coach after Thomas gets fired and he takes over the personnel decisions.

Re: Larry Brown:"I'm in this for the Long Haul"
Rik Smits said this about Brown "At first the guy pisses you off and you play harder then after a while he just pisses you off". Coach Brown there is a job open in Bloomington that you would be perferct for.
