Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports writes that longtime NBA coach Larry Brown is interested in the Portland Trail Blazers' open GM job. ---------------------------- Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown is making progress in contract talks to become coach at Southern Methodist University, sources told Yahoo! Sports. ... Despite engaging SMU in contract talks, Brown hasn't stopped his pursuit of the Portland Trail Blazers' vacant general manager position, sources said. Brown's true desire is to coach the Blazers, but he's trying to get team president Larry Miller to take him seriously as a front-office executive. There has been contact between the two sides, but mostly one-sided from Brown, sources said. Brown is still trying to land a formal face-to-face meeting with Blazers officials, and clearly he hoped the leverage from an SMU offer might help him. ---------------------------- Brown has been linked to the job previously. ed: text updated, bumped to front page
