New York Post - Former Knicks coach Larry Brown has already bolted town - and has moved his family from Greenwich, Conn., to Philadelphia, The Post has learned.

Brown, who is set to face Knicks owner James Dolan in high-stakes arbitration Friday in Manhattan, wanted his two children to return to their former school, the prestigious Episcopal Academy in Lower Merion, Pa.

But Brown's departure for his old haunt, Philly, where he coached a career-high six seasons, raises speculation he could soon join the Sixers' front office in an advisory capacity after he settles his contract with the Knicks, Marc Berman of the New York Post reports.

Brown's best friend in the league still is Sixers GM Billy King and Brown had a very strong relationship with Philly owner Ed Snider. The Sixers are coached by Maurice Cheeks, Brown's former Sixers assistant. When Brown bolted Orlando's pre-draft camp a day early after Isiah Thomas snubbed him last June, King, on request of Brown's wife, Shelly, flew home with him on a charter.

Larry Brown will never be a succesful coach. No one should ever hire him again.

Iverson, I'm sure, is excited.

I would hire him for college. Just for what he tries to do as a coach.

I disagree. Larry Brown likes to teach players fundamentals, how to play the right way, etc. The NBA he can't control the players anymore, all the players are doing is playing for money. In college players are playing to get the RIGHT to play for the money. Also since LB has been there done that they would trust him more and he can show them what young players need to do to be ready.
