LARRY'S ON DEAN'S LIST

Posted Jul 13, 2006

As Isiah Thomas and the Knicks' summer-league team frolic in Las Vegas, Larry Brown spent the last three days at his home in East Hampton, playing golf with his UNC mentor Dean Smith, trying to get cheered up. "I'm trying to get over this, but it is as bad as it gets," Brown told The Post. "You can't get over this stuff. I still have to take care of my family and do what's best for them. We do have some decisions to make as a family." (New York Post)
