Becky Wirth  - Jul 12, 2016 Southern Methodist University Philly.com On July 9, Larry Brown announced his resignation as head coach of Southern Methodist University's basketball team after four seasons. This was Brown's 13th head coaching position and third head coaching position for a college team. After just four seasons with SMU, Brown was able to completely rebuild SMU's basketball program, having three straight 25-plus win seasons and an appearance in the NCAA tournament in 2015. This was SMU's first appearance in the tournament in 22 years. So why did Brown decide to leave? Apparently, it was over a contract dispute. Brown wanted a five-year contract, while SMU was offering only a two or three-year deal. After not being able to reach an agreement, Brown resigned. There have been many criticisms of b...

Brown was formally introduced Monday as the men's basketball coach at SMU , his first college job in nearly a quarter century. The 71-year-old Hall of Famer joked about his age and said he looked forward to coaching "quality basketball with quality student-athletes " at a school that has long struggled to be relevant in Dallas and nationally. SMU has not won an NCAA tournament game since 1988 -- the same year Brown won a national title at Kansas in his last season in college. Brown brushed off questions about how long he would stay at SMU, saying he thought the Mustangs had the resources to compete in the Big East when it joins the conference in 2013. "When I look in the mirror, I get kind...

https://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2014/january/why-larry-brown-is-at-smu/ In his second year rebuilding the school's basketball program, the only coach to win an NBA and NCAA championship still loves being in the gym. By Zac Crain | December 17, 2013|12:00 am From  D Magazine January 2014 Subscribe You beat out Kentucky and Kansas to sign point guard Emmanuel Mudiay, one of the top five recruits in the country and arguably the biggest name to ever come to SMU. What does his signing mean to the program? He’s as good a player as there is in the country, and he’s a better kid. He’s from Dallas. He’s got a great family. Those are the kids we gotta continue to sign. We got Keith Frazier last year, out of Dallas, and now Emmanuel, and Emmanuel’s brother, Jean-Michael (a junior transfer from Western Texas College). We’ve got some really good young people coming into our program. That’s huge. Also huge for the program: Moody Coliseum reopens this month, after a $47 million...

11 Mar 2024 - L'Équipe DE NOTRE ENVOYÉ SPÉCIAL PIERRE MENJOT "Rejoindre cette équipe est la meilleure décision de ma carrière,  alors que beaucoup ont pu trouver ça stupide"    - JORGENSON MATTEO L’Américain n’a jamais tremblé face à Remco Evenepoel pour remporter hier sur la Côte d’Azur, où il vit, un Paris-Nice ouvert et indécis jusqu’au bout. La plus belle victoire de sa carrière avant de se mettre au service de ses leaders Wout Van Aert et Jonas Vingegaard. NICE – Soudain, Matteo Jorgenson a comme été pris d’un vertige. Un dimanche au soleil l’attendait, à longer les plages où il aime se poser pour observer la mer, à rouler sur les routes qu’il emprunte au retour de l’entraînement ou pour s’acheter une baguette. Mais l’enjeu a, d’un coup, rattrapé l’Américain (24ans) samedi soir. «C’est la première fois de ma vie oùj’ airessenti autant de pression, en a-t-il rigolé hier. J’ai dormi cinq heures, je n’étais pas vraiment calme…» Ses réponses étaient plus courtes avant le...
