Brown would get upset and quit in a couple of years.  He is too risky to
invest in.  Pitino appears as though he will be coach and possibly GM
(depending on Larry's decision- which he'll probably choose IN).  Pitino
is as good a teacher as Brown + he's an excellent motivator.  If we land
Pitino and get him some talent to work with, we should have a 'decent'
squad next year, eventually becoming a
contender.
