Magoo Heads to Charlotte

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mr. Magoo heads to Charlotte.  Larry Brown is a great coach and a genius with the X’s and O’s.  I used to like Larry Brown as the Carolina alumni, Pistons coach and Sixers coach.  But after the Knicks fiasco, I really don’t see Brown as the coach for the Bobcats.  As the coach of the Pistons, Brown had a well established veteran team assembled.  As the Sixers coach, Brown had Allen Iverson and was only able to reach the Finals because Iverson literally carried the team on his back.  But when Brown got to Gotham, he was supposed to mesh a bunch of young players together and restructure a team to prominence.  Clearly he failed. He was unable to get through to the young players and constantly conflicted with the players.  I dont’t think Brown is the right coach for the young Bobcats.  Brown is a good coach, but not a great teacher.  The Bobcats, need leadership and a teacher at the bench.  And Brown does not fulfill these criterias for Charlotte.  

I can see Larry Brown as the head coach of the Boston Celtics or the San Antonio Spurs, but not a young team.  I actually consider Brown the Rasheed Wallace of coaches.  He’s an amazing coach, but he brings so much drama to the bench like Rasheed.  He takes the focus away from the team from his antics and has a history of bailing on teams when times get tough.  

I could be completely wrong, but from Brown’s disaster in New York, he’s not the coach for a promising and young team as the Charlotte Bobcats.  Let’s hope he doesn’t stunt the growth of Raymond Felton, Emeka Okafor and Gerald Wallace.  

Mr. Magoo - You’ve destroyed my favorite team, the Knicks….don’t destroy my other team too.
