Larry Brown is no Dean Smith

Posted Jun 4, 2005

After winning that NBA title a season ago, Larry Brown had a chance to reshape his legacy for the history books. He had a chance to end his career with far more dignity and grace than he had conducted it. But Brown showed once again that he's the most selfish and disingenuous coach the profession has ever spawned. No pupil has ever come closer to Dean Smith's genius on the floor, and gone further from his character off it. (ESPN.com)
