Larry Brown's first Bobcats camp full of Carolina blue

Posted Oct 3, 2008
Dean Smith's seat was directly at mid-court and a baby-blue sweater rested on his lap. Roy Williams, in a baby-blue polo shirt, sat to his left. A few feet away, Larry Brown kept making the Charlotte Bobcats run, run and run some more. It was just like the kind of practices Smith used to lead. Sure, the jerseys are orange and black. But Brown's first training camp in his record ninth NBA head coaching job has a distinctly North Carolina feel. (WRAL Sports Fan)
