Brown has no interest in coaching 76ers

? Larry Brown wants his grade-school kids to unpack their suitcases, get used to one house and graduate from a suburban Philadelphia school district.

Brown has had it with moving his family. He’s enjoyed dropping off his two children off at school and picking them up later in the day. The Brown family even went on their first Christmas vacation.

Six months of free time, though, was enough for Brown. And now he’s back with the 76ers as an executive vice president, six years after leading them to the NBA Finals.

While his return sparked speculation he might return to the bench, Brown said Monday he wants to help the fallen franchise only in his new role and has no immediate plans to coach again.

“At this moment, no,” he said. “I didn’t come here to be involved in the coaching. After last year, I think I need to step away from coaching for a while, and I’m 66. I don’t know if that’s what I’m looking to do.”

Brown’s been a winner at almost every stop, from Kansas University to Detroit and many points between. He proved he could take the 76ers from lottery losers to playoff contenders, turning a team that lost 51 games his first season in 1997-98 into one that won a playoff series the next.

Now he joins a club that is 9-24. But the 76ers also have three first-round draft picks this year, including two choices from Denver in the Allen Iverson trade, and the elements may be in place for Brown to try and revitalize the franchise again.

“Hopefully we can do the same now,” Brown said.
