Title: Apparently Penn St turned down Larry Brown?
Post by: Emo EMAW on June 01, 2011, 08:06:03 AM: 610 was talking about it this morning. Larry Brown called Penn State to offer his services to fill their coaching vacancy. They told him they'd rather hire someone with more recent college bball experience.

Bob Knight was a great hire for TTU.

Yeah, well Pat Knight was a horrible hire. Who else was TTU going to get when they hired Bob?

Didn't stop us from rehiring Snyder.

Go find someone who agreed with that hire and argue with them.
