71 year old Hubie Brown has quit as coach of the Memphis Grizzlies, citing previously unforseen “health-related issues” (though being 71 years old and having to deal with Jason Williams every day is probably reason enough).
Brown, whose previous coaching tenures included stops in Atlanta, New York and Kentucky, will be replaced by Lionel Hollins on an interim basis. Former Cavs/Hawks coach Mike Fratello, so close to taking the Knicks job last year, would be the bookies’ choice to take over, if the bookies were awake yet.
