Probably because his bags were always packed, and he couldn't get on of Kansas fast enough with that national championship trophy before the roof caved in with sanctions against the Jayhawks. By the way what in the hell is a "Jayhawk"? Stupid looking bird, its almost as bad as calling your self "the Cyclones" and having a Cardinal as your mascot.....

Larry Brown leaves SMU in the most Larry Brown way possible
Larry Brown created NCAA issues and then resigned abruptly -- just like he did at UCLA and Kansas
You need to 1) take a chill pill, 2) understand that this is a great opportunity for these players even if you were the coach, 3) getting live competition for the three Hawks at this time of the year is "priceless" and 4) the HOF basketball knowledge is unprecedented for ALL of the coaches and players. The thing that bugs me about MOST people on this board (in this instance it includes "paladinhawk") is how you don't see the potential life/basketball lessons in each circumstance. I am not mad, or even irritated, but in a world that all we are shown is the "negative", why can't we look for the "positives" in each circumstance discussed on this board? Most of the players on these rosters won't play in the NBA, but by going overseas, they will see how basketball is played there and might like to continue their playing career abroad. They will learn about other cultures. They will see the beauty of this world outside of the US. I am excited for the Hawks even if they lose every stinking game. The life lessons on and off the court is what I am excited for my boys to learn. Go Hawks!!
I never said anything about the opportunities that the players are going to get. My comment was directed at the Moneyball Sportswear organization, who chose out out of 300+ Division 1 coaches, three coaches who have issues related to NCAA infractions or ethics to represent the team that they are sponsoring. Odd choice IMO.
Training camp will be at Manhattan College and the event will be in Valencia and Barcelona July 31-Aug 9.
This summer's USA East Coast Coaching Staff:
The Red, White, and Blue Rosters that will compete in Spain in August:
If I had a son in college and he had the opportunity to play in an overseas series of games coached by any of these coaches I would not hesitate one bit to allow it. Look at the accolades given to these coaches by former players and you'll understand there is a lot more to life beyond the black and white of what gets reported on ESPN.
Can't argue this. If I was selecting where my son was going to spend 4 years for their college hoops career I would hope they selected otherwise.
Who am I to argue ANY of these coaches? Pretty sure they have forgotten more basketball than you or I would ever know. Keep debating me....I love it!!
These coaches are in this position to teach the kids about basketball during a relatively short period of time. The kids will gain exposure to some fascinating experiences they may never be afforded again.
You are a person with morals and integrity. As such, there is nothing wrong with insisting that those around you who are elevated to a position of authority and influence are also people with morals and integrity — even if they have “forgotten more basketball than you or I would ever know.”
