Larry Brown vs David Robinson?

[Duff McCartney]

I'm watching ESPN right now and some guy from New York (sports writer) is talking about the current Brown vs Marbury feud. Anyway he was saying and I'm paraphrasing...

"Larry Browns track record has had lots of winning but also lots of drama. You look at David Robinson in San Antonio..."

He goes to list other people but that stuck out to me, I didn't know he had drama with David, what was it?

My cousin and I were also discussing Larry's departure and how if you ask around now you won't get a straight answer as to why Larry left San Antonio.

I don't remember much of the Larry Brown era...so I don't know what happened.

What is the history?

From what I recall, Brown's drama was between him and Red. He did ride Elliott hard, but Elliott was his designated rookie whipping boy.

LB wore out his welcome with the players and management.

Just like he does everywhere, eventually.

LB is so overrated

[whottt]

It wasn't like they hated each other...it was more like Larry Brown said he was going to take his ball and go home, and Drob(and Strickland, TC, Willie Anderson and Elliott) said, see ya.

Brown can be a nag and I think he had lost the team at that point. They were young and he pushed them hard...There was a lot of expectation on the early DRob teams due to the fantastic first year. Being outcoached by Nelly in the 90-91 playoffs, as badly as any coach has ever been outcoached, probably had something to do with it as well.

I think the relationship was summed up pretty well in one of DRob's old nike commercials that has Brown on his ass about everything. Hmmm, I think it was the, "Can you say contract renegotiations? Mr. Robinson can." commercial.

But that journalist is kind blowing things out of proportion...it wasn't a hate issue, it wasn't even a respect issue, more of a burn out issue, and when Drob retired Larry Brown said the Drob was the player he would like to have coached a second time.

LB was always on David because he wanted to force him to be a post up kind of center...and as we all know David never was that kind of player......David's game was more like a bigger version of Shawn Marions game.

That is what I remember most about David vs Larry. There was no media frenzy though -- probably because it SA not NY. :D

Larry Brown V. David Robinson???

Hmm....my advice to David would be to take that little twerp to the hole.

Drob 2 rings LB 1

Winner Drob

Larry lacks patience and focuses on a players weaknesses rather than their strengths. The guy knows basketball but eventually becomes a nag.

Larry Brown called David "uncoachable" IIRC. I'll do some looking around.
