The Los Angeles Lakers coaching search has been a long and drugged out process to say the least.
It was reported yesterday that Larry Brown was on their radar, but the current SMU head coach has no interest.
“I’ve always kept in touch with Mitch; I admire the hell out of him,” the 73-year-old Brown told USA TODAY Sports by phone on Tuesday. “I talk to Mitch all the time. … (But) we’re not talking about coaching the Lakers. I’ve read some of the names. They’ve got a long list of good people to choose from, and I’m here at SMU. I want to win a national championship.”
Brown is in a good situation at SMU. His team was snubbed of a NCAA tournament bid this past season, but he has McDonald’s All-American Emmanuel Mudiay coming in.
Oh yeah, Larry Brown is the only coach to win a championship in both the NCAA and NBA.
