going for the gold
The other day Larry Brown announced he would become the next coach of the New York Knicks. Obviously there has to be a press conference and a speech. Bloomberg (your top source for sports news) offered a nice summary:
“When I was announced as the Olympic coach, I thought that was the single greatest honor I could ever have,” said Brown, who regaled the hundreds in attendance with memories of riding the subway to Manhattan and then following the players to their favorite watering holes after games. “Standing here in Madison Square Garden, this tops it all.”
Well, it’s official. US Olympic Basketball is dead. Arguably the top coach in the nation picked the team that finished last in its division over the Olympic one.
No wonder they have trouble recruiting the top players.
