Denver, LAC, San Antonio, and now Philly... all of these teams made the same mistake of trying to impliment a quick fix by making larry brown the head coach, and sure he drastically improved them ....but 2 things were fairly certain with the teams mentioned above... 1. he stays for figuratively and sometimes literally no longer than a blink of an eye... 2. when he leaves, he leaves his team so scourched and burned out that it takes them years and sometimes decades (denver, LAC) to recover... the pacers were the only team to seemingly survive this curse...but then again they are in the nba's junior varsity (eastern conf)... brown is also a guy that rumors to retire each year so that receive the begging and pleading from his owner and gm that gives him a seemingly false sense of fulfilment that he truly will not receive until he is named the coach of his beloved UNC tarheels...u think its a coincidense that unc picked matt doherty over him a few years back??????? dean smith aint no fool... that being said, brown is a great x and o coach...but i feel that his philosophy of getting his marquee players that ball at the end of a posetion rather than at the begining will greatly negate yao's great passing ability... we as rocket fans have been spoiled by the lack of drama in the front office throughout the rudy t administration...i for one do not want to see the front office headlines that were prevelant when the oilers were in town... memo to les: save yourself and your fans 3 wasted years which may or may not result in playoff appearances and a great many years of problems thereafter and dump this guy off of your list..... MIKE DUNLEVY IS THE WAY TO GO
