Larry Brown's NY Dream Job

Just after winning the 2004 NBA Finals, you'd think that 2004-2005 season for the Detroit Pistons would be a season to repeat. Guess what Larry Brown did, while under contract with DP, he flirted with his dream job. That is, the head coaching job in New York. He smelled (stinky) something is not right with New York coaching situation, 2 coaches sacked before interim coach Williams finished the season. So there is chance that he'll get the job. With the general manager and the owner don't seem to know what they are doing, the big apple would be the biggest job for Larry Brown.

And so he landed the job at New York, after a messy and pricey divorce with the Detroit Pistons. But the rest is history. Detroit was not able to get to the finals (They may never will with this cureent group.) and the Knicks turned into a complete mess. Larry is now fired just a couple of hours ago by the dynamic duo of owner Dolan and Isaiah Thomas. Just within a year, coach Brown's dream job turned out to be a nightmare.

So you folks out there, be careful with what you wish for. If currently employed and not quite not satisfied with your company, take it easy. Just don't move your rear to some place else without carefully studying the pros and the cons of moving on.
