EX-KNICK BROWN BOLTS TO PHILLY

By MARC BERMAN

September 26, 2006 -- Former Knicks coach Larry Brown has already bolted town - and has moved his family from Greenwich, Conn., to Philadelphia, The Post has learned.

Brown, who is set to face Knicks owner James Dolan in high-stakes arbitration Friday in Manhattan, wanted his two children to return to their former school, the prestigious Episcopal Academy in Lower Merion, Pa.

But Brown's departure for his old haunt, Philly, where he coached a career-high six seasons, raises speculation he could soon join the Sixers' front office in an advisory capacity after he settles his contract with the Knicks.

Brown's best friend in the league still is Sixers GM Billy King and Brown had a very strong relationship with Philly owner Ed Snider. The Sixers are coached by Maurice Cheeks, Brown's former Sixers assistant. When Brown bolted Orlando's pre-draft camp a day early after Isiah Thomas snubbed him last June, King, on request of Brown's wife, Shelly, flew home with him on a charter.

The Knicks are withholding the $41 million left on Brown's five-year pact. Brown will ask at the hearing in Manhattan for an additional $12.5 million tacked on for "liquidated damages" and attorney's fees, or $53.5M

Ironically, Brown closed on a six-bedroom, 6 1/2 bath, four-fireplace, 12,773 square-foot Greenwich mansion on June 14, just eight days before his official firing without pay. Brown is now renting a house in Philly and likely will sell his Greenwich mansion. He still has his summer retreat in East Hampton.

"They wanted the kids back to a school where they were comfortable, where they have friends," Brown's brother, Hawks assistant Herb Brown said. "I have no idea what he's going to do. He's waiting to see what happens [in arbitration]."

Brown's children, L.J., 11, and Madison, 8, attended the exclusive Philly school founded in 1785 while Brown coached the Sixers and even during Brown's first season in Detroit.

Two weeks ago, Brown hosted his sixth annual coaching clinic in Memphis that is invitation only. Brown invited his coaching friends and some coaches who are unemployed so they can network.

"He looked great," Herb Brown said. "He was in his element and everybody appreciated he was so upbeat."

SO all of you guys who argued, why would he move his whole family here if he had plans to leave? Well, apparently, moving his family isn't such a big deal. And how could it be for someone involved in the NBA who has been with as many teams as he has?

when you make more than $10M a year, moving your family is like buying a happy meal for me and you. It means that he wanted to live somewhere else for a better reason, ie kids.

Killa, really. What's your point? That he wanted to leave NY?
Are you trying to say that he intentionally tried to get fired? Is that it?
And this is your proof?

like Lebron James who wants to be the richest man in the world first? come on. you're saying Marbury should put basketball before his family? hobby was not the best choice of words, but Marbury is a bit of a horrible public speaker. I think we all know what he meant - but of course the NY media blew it out of proportion. What would the media in NY have made of Lebron saying he wanted to be the richest man in the world?

Shelly is from Philly, and she and the kids stayed there when he was handed the silver chalice (holy cow, holy grail) in Detroit.

Since he is no longer employed in NY, he is moving back. They closed on a house on day 32 of the charade.

I love Larry. Always will. I hope he gets lots of money form Dolan and his band of corrupt minions.

Larry Phuched with the team. Yeah I believe it. He tried to take Isiahs job. Why? Cuz Isiah sucks.

LB committed to being here and uprooted his family and his kids from their school to the NY area where he bought a house in Connecticut. Now that he's been fired, he's moving his family to Philly so his kids can go back to a school that they felt most comfortable with.

Yeah, what an arsehole.

I hope he gets every penny and more from his Knicks contract. I hope he makes a profit from selling his Connecticut house. I hope he gets another NBA job soon while Isiah never sniffs another NBA job after he's done destroying the Knicks.

And I don't even really like Larry Brown. But I know that he would have turned the Knicks around if not for Dolan, Isiah, Mills and Marbury.

And this was my point, while many of you were saying:

if he didn't want to be here why would he move his family, blah, blah, blah.

My point is and always was, exactly what you said in your post, moving for millionaires is nothing.

Why don't you hope that you get a 1 million dollar contract or something? Why are you hanging from this man's multi-million dollar nut sack?

You hope he gets every penny and more? Pathetic.

You have no point in this quote at all. You are all over the place.
Please state your point? Is it that LB deliberately got fired because he didn't want to be here?
At least say SOMETHING? Where is this thread going?

Brown also would have done better if it wasn't for Brown. He also uprooted his family when he was fired in Detroit for interviewing with another team behind his owner's back.
