Larry Brown is a former American basketball coach and player who was the head coach for Auxilium Torino of the Italian Lega Basket Serie A (LBA) and EuroCup Basketball.
Brown is the only coach in basketball history to win both an NCAA national championship (Kansas Jayhawks, 1988) and an NBA title (
Detroit Pistons, 2004). He has a 1,275-965 lifetime professional coaching record in the American Basketball Association (ABA) and the National Basketball Association (NBA) and is the only coach in NBA history to lead eight teams to the playoffs. He also won an ABA championship as a player with the Oakland Oaks in the 1968-69 season, and an Olympic Gold Medal in 1964. He is the only person ever to coach two NBA franchises in the same season (Spurs and Clippers during the 1991-92 NBA season). Before coaching, Brown played at the University of North Carolina and professionally in the ABA.
Brown was enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame as a coach on September 27, 2002. Although widely considered one of the greatest coaches in basketball history, he has developed a reputation for constantly looking for better coaching opportunities and frequently switching teams or programs before the expiration of his contract.
