Hall of Famer Larry Brown has no plans to slow down as his 77th birthday approaches on Thursday.
Brown, the only coach to win both an NCAA championship (1988, Kansas) and NBA title (Detroit Pistons, 2004), made it clear in an interview with The Star that he’s open to offers of full-time employment.
“I’d like to be with some NBA team and maybe be a mentor for a young coach and teach young players,” Brown, presenter for Kansas coach Bill Self at Friday’s Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame induction ceremony, said emphatically.
In August, Brown reaffirmed the notion he’s as interested as ever in “teaching” basketball players.
