Former University of Kansas basketball coach Larry Brown will travel to Italy on Saturday night to meet with officials of Italian League team Fiat Torino in anticipation of becoming the Italian League team’s next coach, Brown told The Star on Thursday.
Brown, 77, cautioned that he’s not yet finalized any deal. The team announced Brown’s hiring Wednesday on its official website.
“I think we agreed to agree after we talked basically,” Brown told The Star. It would be his first head coaching job since leaving SMU after the 2015-16 season. “I’ve not met anybody. I obviously want to coach but I just want to meet the people and be what they expect.
