Of course. It would be career suicide to badmouth your previous employer. In coaching, it's always about the next job...
Glad you agree. :up
But it showed alot of class considering he was coach of the year last year, won almost as many games AGAIN...then get canned because his team was really not as good as they thought they were...he did need to go in a "we are the world" speech about EVERYONE in the organization. I am surprised he didn't include the food and beer vendors too....
Very classy speech no question. But it would have been career suicide if he did anything else, and Brown knows that.

If any of you listen to my ramblings throughout the year, I said at the start of the regular season that it's Championship or bust for this team. Anything less would've been a disappointment and someone ALWAYS (typically the coach) takes the fall for expectations not achieved.
Well, that makes 2 on the "not surprised" side.
Make it 3.
Mike Krzyzewski tells Associated Press: "My position hasn't changed" with regard to leaving Duke. So scratch Coach K for Cavs, I guess.
Cavs GM, Danny Ferry Resigns?
Danny Ferry tells the Plain Dealer he has resigned as general manager of the Cavs.
Assistant GM Chris Grant will replace Ferry, whose contract was set to expire at the end of June.
The decision to part ways was mutual
This was a late development. As of a few days ago Ferry was still intending to re-sign if a contract could be worked out.

this is all a big set up....EITHER they KNOW Lebron is gone....OR Lebron made a demand that IF he comes back, both the coach AND the GM had to go.
So, this makes Lebron chances of coming back to Cleveland at 50-50.
[ame="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5259123"]Cleveland Cavaliers make offer to Michigan State Spartans coach Tom Izzo, sources say - ESPN[/ame]
No surprise there. Cavs owner, Dan Gilbert is a MSU alumn.
Right now, Izzo makes $3 million a year with the Spartans. Gilbert has the potential to dwarf that contract offer. It'll be interesting to see if money wins out on this one or not.
Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about this one. On one hand, Tom Izzo's best attribute is that he gets his teams to play better when it counts more (postseason), which is exactly the kind of coach we need. On the other hand, he's never coached professionals.
