Bobcats Name Larry Brown Head Coach
April 29, 2008
The Charlotte Bobcats today named Larry Brown as the third head coach in
franchise history. Brown, who was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial
Basketball Hall of Fame in 2002, brings 23 years of NBA head coaching
experience to the Bobcats.
“Few coaches in this league carry the type of basketball resume that Larry
Brown offers. He is one of the great coaches of our game and we are pleased
to have him as part of our organization,” Bobcats Managing Member of
Basketball Operations Michael Jordan said.
The fifth-winningest coach in NBA history with 1,010 career victories, Brown
has led his teams to 17 playoff appearances, eight 50-win seasons, seven
division titles, three conference championships and one NBA Championship with
the Detroit Pistons in 2003-04. Brown also led the University of Kansas to an
NCAA title in 1987-88, listing him as the only head coach ever to win both an
NCAA title and an NBA Championship.
Brown was named NBA Coach of the Year in 2000-01 after leading the
Philadelphia 76ers to a 56-26 regular-season record and a berth in the NBA
Finals. He was also named ABA Coach of the Year three times – once with the
Carolina Cougars (1972-73) and twice with the Denver Nuggets (1974-75,
1975-76) – in his four seasons in the league.
He began his career in 1972-73 in the ABA, where he coached Carolina for two
seasons before taking the helm in Denver for two seasons. He continued with
the Nuggets following their move to the NBA for the 1976-77 season, and he
has since served as head coach of the New Jersey Nets, San Antonio Spurs, Los
Angeles Clippers, Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers, Detroit Pistons and New
York Knicks. In addition, Brown spent seven seasons on the collegiate level,
two at UCLA and five at Kansas.
Brown also served as head coach of the U.S. Olympic team in 2004 and was an
assistant coach for the 1980 team and for the 2000 team that won a Gold Medal
in Sydney. Winning a Gold Medal as a player on the 1964 U.S. team, he is the
only male basketball participant to both play and serve as head coach for the
U.S. Olympic team.
No stranger to North Carolina basketball fans, Brown played collegiately at
the University of North Carolina from 1959-63 and served as an assistant
coach at UNC from 1965-67 before returning to the Carolinas to coach the
Cougars from 1972-74.
“Having played and coached in North Carolina I understand the rich history
of the sport in this state. I look forward to the opportunity to continue
building the Charlotte Bobcats into a significant part of that tradition,”
Brown said.
