Knicks' Brown needs to shut up and coach!
Charley Rosen / Special to FOXSports.com

Larry Brown is up to his same old self-protective tricks. As he did in Athens with Team USA, he's trying to forestall his being blamed for any possible failures by putting the onus on his players.

Brown had barely arrived in New York when he volunteered the opinion that the best player on last year's Knicks' squad was Allan Houston. Take that, Stephon! Now he's saying that while the Pistons of recent memory "knew how to play," his new players are "like a college team."

Yo, Larry. We all know that you're in the Hall of Fame. OK? And that you're a terrific coach. Right? And that you don't trust young players, e.g., Darko Milicic. Yes? And that even if the Knicks' season turns out to be a bomb, your coaching credentials will not be revoked.

But here's a suggestion: Why not just shut up and coach?

This team is far from being as good as some of our fellow Ulitmateknicks posters think they are and will take more time.

This is rebuilding, you tear it down then build it back up.

Larry is telling you the truth, not obsolving his cred.

Larry saying Allan was the best player probably isn't him talking about talent so much as brains/knowledge.

The problem with most of our players is they don't know what to do out on the floor- how to move the ball to the open man, how to get open, where to go to get open, when to pull up and shoot and when to pound the ball inside.

Allan is a coaches son- I hope he can indeed find an equilibrium between pain and ability to play- he could be that 'snow' type player who is able to be larry's spokesperson as it were...

That's debatable. Houston has been knocked for not having a clue sometimes of what's going on the court. See his early Piston days, look at his early days with JVG too. His execution in the final minutes of games is extremely suspect as well. I think I read somewhere a couple of years ago that most of his turnovers accorded in the 4th quarter. I think he is very coachable and open but has been described by Chaney, Dumars, JVG, Starks, Oakley, Spreewell and Ewing as non-asserted and unsure of himself on the court. Still remember the 98 playoffs against Miami where Starks is screaming at Houston to "shoot the goddamn ball!"
