This is one of those classic blogosphere stories. I got it from the Syracuse Post-Standard, whose Syracuse hoops blogger got it from the New York Post, whose top-notch NBA writer Peter Vescey got it from who knows where.
Vescey reported and then refuted a rumor that the real reason Larry Brown has been hanging out at Villanova of late -- ESPNU's cameras caught him courtside at the Notre Dame game -- is that he wants Jay Wright to replace Mo Cheeks as Sixers head coach at the end of the season.
Personally, I have no doubt that Wright would do quite well in the NBA, for the simple reason that he already dresses the part on a regular basis. But Vescey reported that Sixers sources told him there's no truth to the rumor, and that Brown has in fact "been to other college practices around town as well" since moving back to Philadelphia.
So maybe he wants Fran Dunphy instead? Or Phil Martelli? How about Bruiser Flint?
