There has to be a clause in the buyout that prevents Larry from coaching the Knicks this season (or even coaching period) so that they save face. I really doubt Detroit would let him coach us this season though I knew Larry wouldn't be back there next season. We won't have that bad of a shot at him next season though. Our roster may be more appealing by then as dj mentioned.

If the Knicks had talent, I would agree, but they don't. If I am the Pistons, I don't care what the Knicks do.

The worst kept secret in the world is that Larry Brown is dying to coach the Knicks…eh, I don’t think using the verb dying was appropriate ----anyway, unless its regarding health concerns, sitting out for a year makes little sense, as its just delays the inevitable.

If Herb were to coach next year, with Brown waiting on the sidelines, one might as well change Herb’s name to Quack…Duke would be the very definition of a lame duck. It would be a mess, and a lost year.

According to ESPN it isn’t known if the buyout will contain a one-year sit out clause. Unless the Pistons are trying to be mean-spirited, Larry Brown will coach be our 2005-06 coach. That’s easy money. For all involved it’s the right thing

I think it's more likely that there's a clause in his contract that says he can't coach for the remainder of those 3 or so years, or he forfits the money. If Isiah offers him that 5 year 50 Million offer that someone mentioned, it might make him willing to forgoe the money that Detroit owes him.

Not sure if Davidson will issue a stipulation that says he can't coach the KNICKS in particular, but it's a possibility..
DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

No court would ever uphold a clause that prohited anyone from working for more than one year.

I think there will be a clause preventing Larry from coaching this upcoming season in which if Larry decided to coach another team, that team would have to give the Pistons compensation of some sort.

I think a clause that would waive money owed to Brown if he coaches again within the next 3 years is what makes sense the most.

I mean this is a business, not kingergarden. They can't just say, we'll let you go if don't play for the bad kids acorss the fence, nanannana, etc.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

I'm not sure about that. It wouldn't make sense at all for the Pistons to buy Larry out and then let him coach another team this season.

Well if we do get Larry Brown to coach the Knicks next year, I hope Herb stays on as an assistant. That way if LB has to sit a few games out, he could sub. Herb can learn alot being under LB's wing.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

If Herb Wiliams officially becomes Knicks coach then Isiah did a bad job finding a coach.. C'mon Herb Williams!!!!

The players didn't even play hard for him towards the end of the season..

You think Marbury is gonna listen to him??? THE KNICKS NEED A REAL FREAKIN COACH!!!!
The Future. GO KNICKS!

The Knicks need a freaking superstar coach, and that superstar coach is Larry Brown. Sorry Herb, you have to wait.....Isiah should offer Larry whatever he wants...

Larry Brown will reportedly accept the Knicks job if he's free to do so...



Godamn Bill Davidson. He better accept $$ in return for Brown's services. If he ****s up our season by prohibiting Larry from working, I'll be furious...

I think that Brown can pretty much do whatever he wants....He can coach, but he would have to return some of that money to Detroit....Which is not a bad deal, because Zeke is willing to make him the highest paying coach in the league....

Non compete clauses have been held to be enforceable if they are reasonable in terms of time and area. The classic case involved a major international corporation where the non compete clause was for life on a worldwide basis. The court held that it was reasonable because of the amount of money involved.

I would believe that the clause, if well written, and I would assume that it would be, would be held to be valid. For example, if the clause said he could not coach in the NBA for the life of the agreement it would appropriately be held valid because of the amount of money involved and because he would have alternatives such as coaching in college, Europe, the WNBA or even high school.
