Larry Brown hungry to coach again !
Yearning to return: It makes perfect sense that a former coach with 17- and 15-year-old children would be feeling the itch to get back on the sideline.
But Larry Brown is 71, is in the Hall of Fame and has already accomplished an unmatched feat, becoming the only coach to take teams to NCAA and NBA titles.
But on a visit with Brown at his Bryn Mawr, Pa., home, the New York Daily News' Wayne Coffey finds a restless Brown still very much in the mood to coach again.
"It’s been hard, oh man," Brown tells Coffey. "I’ve been active every day of my life, doing something I love. I don’t know if it’s an emptiness, (but) it’s a heck of an adjustment."
Brown has not had an official job since he parted ways with the Charlotte Bobcats 15 months ago. Brown takes issue with the way the decision by owner Michael Jordan was characterized at the time. "Michael said it was a mutual thing, but it wasn’t mutual at all; I was fired," Brown says. "that was pretty devastating."
Brown has spent some of his time hanging around Villanova practices, and also visiting other top college programs. Last year, he got an interview for the Minnesota Timberwolves job that went to Rick Adelman.
"I just want to be back in the game," Brown says. But he just can't get the opportunity.

Let all the players vote please......
Come Monday night, National Basketball Players' Association leaders Billy Hunter and Derek Fisher need to take the best offer put forth by the owners and put it to their people. Anything less is a disservice to their constituents and the fans who deserve better.
Let's get real representation of the players views, not just a few.
Paul Allen's #4 !
World's 4th largest yacht - how wonderful for him.
Personally, I think it has class to NOT so indulge just kuz you can. Props to Bill Gates for NOT being listed - better things to do.
T-Wolves want to interview Adelman
Love, Rubio, 2nd pick, then Adelman..
Things could be looking up for Minny.
Could be interesting.
Who wants Greg Oden ? (with poll)

We have a lot of speculation on what the team should do regarding Greg Oden's contract, which is expiring. Yes, the Blazers did the smart thing by not already signing him. Rather they took a 'wait and see' approach, giving him time to get on the floor and show his stuff. Obviously, his value took a hit with the latest microfracture on his other knee. And the smart thing is still to wait and see before making a decision. In making their arguements, people make assumptions, possibly emotionally driven on a number of relevant variables that are central in determining what is Greg Oden worth. Variables including:

First season power rankings: Blazers #6
Blazers ranked #6 to start the season - a pleasant surprise for me, what with preseason record, Oden out, etc.
PG Sergio Rodriguez, New York
It turns out that Spanish Chocolate is actually the big winner in the Big Apple, not Me-Mac. The worst kept secret in the league is how terrible Chris Duhon is, and the fact that he's been masquerading as a starting PG for nearly two years as a Knick is shameful at best and downright unconstitutional if we were to analyze it politically. Rookie Toney Douglas certainly deserves a shot at extended minutes so the team can see what he's capable of (like can he run the point?), but Rodriguez is also going to see plenty of run, too, since he's under contract for at least one more year and there are rumors that he might start the first game he's in uniform. He can be a huge boon in assists, steals and threes, though he's not a particularly good FG% or FT% guy. The big loser here is obviously Duhon, whose deal with the Devil is coming to a close as he figures to lose his starting gig.
What we have here is a failure to communicate....

We get a good passing veteran point guard to replace the "eratic" Sergio, Martell is back and healthy, and, most importantly, Greg is not only totaly healthy and strong, but really playing effectively, both on defense AND offense !! AND ........
the team is now distinctly playing worse basketball. (not just talkin' about tonight)
Australian DMC champ
We should get this guy for, say, and opening cermony at the Rose Garden. Would be awesome with that sound system.

Can lightning strike twice in Portland ?
I just happened on this page with some '77 championship nostalgia. Didn't buy the product, but the page is fascinating by it's self. Yes, I missed it, lived in Calif. at the time. Had to be fantastic for fans and players. Inspirational. Thought some others might enjoy.
