Boston Celtics And Larry Brown Are A Perfect Match

The Boston Celtics have lucked out now twice since Tommy Thibs left for Chicago.
Last season they were able to procure the services of one Lawrence Frank to
replace the defensive guru that is Thibs. Frank should have been a head coach.
The man is a defensive genius that knows how to reach his players. Frank was a
great coach that was punished for a lack of success due to the fact he took
over a sinking ship in New Jersey. His teams just lacked talent and the GM and
ownership were awful. When given a solid cast, Frank had Boston the top rated
defense in the NBA in points per game despite all the injuries including not
having a true center for a half a season. Frank was rewarded with the Detroit
top job next season. Now it appears that
Larry Brown wants in as the Celtics assistant coach.
This would be a tremendous move. Larry Brown has always been a great defensive
coach. The man’s long resume speaks for itself. Brown’s teams in Philadelphia,
Indiana, Charlotte, and of course his title team in Detroit were machines
defensively. Brown’s coaching passion is all consuming. The man was called by
many including Reggie Miller as a miserable perfectionist in an imperfect game.
This is just the kind of guy to challenge Boston’s veterans and teach these
young guys like JaJuan Johnson and keep them focused on defense.
The Boston Celtics already have a great veteran base that are defensive minded. A guy like Brown would have a
field day with this group. Imagining teaming a perfectionist like Brown that is
never happy with a guy that demands perfection on the floor in Kevin Garnett. The
Celtics are a veteran team with a window to win now. Larry Brown would not
hamper the promoting of assistants too badly because Larry Brown never stays anywhere
very long. This move makes a lot of sense and I am hoping Doc does not promote
somebody young and explores this option. The bottom line is there will not be
better than Brown on the current staff or elsewhere. I hope Larry is on the Boston
bench next season. Remember Go Green or Go Home!!!!!!!!!!!!1
