You can't have it both ways. You can't argue that LB is superior in record and value as a coach, and then condemn that no one claims Flip is his equal in clout.

Flip will not be paid like Brown, he doesn't have the resume of Brown, and I doubt you will find many people who will claim he is Larry Brown's equal as a coach.

Not to mention that LB is the one with the actual history of meddling in the front office, not Flip.

No, they are afraid he will shut down on them like he did in NY, and then rape the franchise for a settlement when he gets fired.

His reputation as a carpet bagger precedes him as a winner. And that's on him. It goes back to the 80s.

I think LB is a great coach, I think he's a wildly fascinating character and really interesting to have around. But I don't think he's a saint.

Just as you feel the people who argue that everything is wrong with LB are painting him as the devil, it seems to me that you go out of your way to paint him as Jesus. In reality, he's probably somewhere in between.

In my ideal world, this would happen. But I wonder how excited the starters would be to have LB back after playing for Coach Powder-Puff for three years?

LB would probably enjoy teaching our group of D-minded kids and he could afford to bench a starter when they were taking the night off.

Sadly, i really would want that to happen. LB maybe on the crazy side, but he's a damn good coach.

Crazy like a fox

Good thing you aren't.

Flip is not a good coach IMO, but LB is definitely NOT the answer. There was a reason it didn't work out last time. No way it happens.

Hmmm...I wonder what Tom Izzo is doing these days????????

I think we need to go in a different direction, assuming we don't make it to the Finals again which is not looking too good right now.

Seems like LB is good at relating to bubble players like Billups, Rip and Prince were when he was here but not so well suited for vets and young players.

Well, I enjoyed this team's two trips to The Finals...sorry.

Think Laimbeer will give Davidson the Company Man discount when he moves from the Shock to the Stons?

He is not the answer.
