Larry Brown said I wanna be a coach again

Phil Jackson said he doesn’t want to coach again but is not ruling out the possibility, and Jerry Sloan told SI recently that he’d return for the right opportunity. But Larry Brown, unequivocally, says he wants back in. He’s just not sure the feeling is mutual.
"I want to get back badly,” Brown told CSN Chicago (via Pro Basketball Talk). “I just don't know. The direction the NBA's going, it seems like they just want to get young ex-players and if you look around the league, there's not a lot of older coaches anymore. 'Pop' (Gregg Popovich) and maybe (Rick) Adelman, but most of these guys are younger, so I don't know if I fit that mold, but I still believe that I have something to offer and I was disappointed the way Charlotte ended. We go to the playoffs and then, 14 games later, I'm fired.”
And, according to Brown, he's got some excuses for how the Bobcats fared under him. "They get rid of Raymond (Felton) and get rid of Tyson (Chandler), and I have Kwame Brown, Gerald Henderson and (Dominic) McGuire, all of those guys hurt, missing training camp,” he added, per CSN. ”So, I'm disappointed the way that ended, but I'd love to get back if somebody gave me a chance. But I won't politic for it. I hope it happens, but I don't want to see somebody lose their job to get another job, so that's always sensitive."
