Herb Brown, Mark Warkentien Endorse Blazers’ selection of Billups as head coach
Herb Brown was an assistant coach with the Detroit Pistons for only one season — but what a season it was.
The older brother of then-Detroit head coach Larry Brown was on hand for the Pistons’ ride to the NBA championship in 2003-04. One of his favorite players to work with on that team was the new head coach of the Trail Blazers, Chauncey Billups.
“I love him,” says Herb, now retired and living in Traveler’s Rest, S.C. “He was terrific when I was with the Pistons. He’s a major reason why we were successful. He was a great leader. He took coaching. He understood coaching. He was truly professional.”

I have a bit of a love/hate thing about John Thompson.
Like/dislike, to be more accurate.
Dislike because I often felt that about the way Thompson, the Hall of Fame basketball coach at Georgetown, went about his business.
Like because I very much enjoyed reading his autobiography, published posthumously and given to me as a Christmas present by my son Troy.
