Legendary Basketball Coach Larry Brown hired by SMU


A week ago coaching legend Larry Brown was hired by Southern Methodist University.  SMU is moving to the Big East in all sports, so to hire a well known coach like Larry Brown is a great move. Coach Brown has won a NCAA Championship with Kansas and an NBA championship with the Detroit Pistons. The SMU job is his first college job in nearly a quarter century that is crazy to think about. SMU is hoping that Coach Brown can turn around their basketball program which has not won an NCAA tournament game since the late 80’s.

However Coach Brown in the last few days has been making headlines that I believe that do not put him in a positive light. First on the Dan Patrick radio show, Larry Brown questioned the people around Michael Jordan. I have no problem with him saying that, but I believe he should have kept to himself. I do agree with what he said about Michael Jordan and it would be nice to see the Bobcats doing well. So you agree with what Coach Brown said about Michael Jordan and the people around him? The other headline Larry Brown has made is that he has cut a few of the SMU basketball players. My problem with what he did is that he has only been the SMU coach for a few days. I understand that things like this happen all the time in college sports but to do that in the first few days is just unprofessional in my opinion. So what do you think about Larry Brown cutting several players? Was it the right time or not the right time?
