Larry Brown Until Quotations

I don't think you guys ever heard me say I wasn't pleased with the way he's playing until the last game. I've never, ever said anything except I was pleased with the way he's playing, the way he's trying, and I thought he has been making great progress ... We've played twenty-some games. I don't expect this to happen overnight.

I don't think you guys ever heard me say I wasn't pleased with the way he was playing until the last game. Even with all the other stuff that's going on every other week, I've never said anything except I was pleased with the way he's been playing and way he's trying. The last game, he was not aggressive. He shot the ball seven times. He deferred. I expressed that. That's one game.

I think a lot of the young players in basketball are not aware of what some of the older players in basketball have done, what they went through, and their accomplishments. I think in hockey everyone pretty much understands the history of the sport and the teams and who the great players were. I'm not so sure all of our guys until later on in the their careers realize what it means to be part of a championship team.

Until I coached Detroit I never inherited a winning team, ... This is a work in progress but I do think some of the changes that have been made are really positive ones.

I heard he said he was out until the All-Star break, so I don't have to answer it any more. That's what I heard, so he's out until the All-Star break and we'll evaluate after the All-Star break.

But until we find out what our best lineup is, this is what we're going to have to be faced with.

I don't know if we'll find out a lot about our progress until after this is over and we can start working in the summertime.

It's odd when you see a big-name player (on the market), but I'm not worried about that until I see the guy on our team. I've got to think about how I can make these young guys better.

The direction is not going the way we would all like and we've got to do something about that. This is a pretty good time from now until All-Star break to kind of assess where we're going, but I do really feel good about a lot of the pieces here and I think a lot of them have a chance to get a lot better.
