Larry Brown still loves coaching, but said Friday that he doesn't want to drag on as he decides whether or not to return to the bench next season.
Brown is currently the head coach of the Bobcats, but he has been linked to the 76ers in numerous reports.
"I love Charlotte, I love working for Michael, I love coaching. I don't think there are many places where I've been as comfortable, and I've been in some pretty special situations," Brown said at his end-of-season news conference.
"But I have a 13-year-old daughter and a 15-year-old son and the time I'm away from them, I can't get that back," Brown added.
"I've got to go home and talk to my wife. I love her and I love my kids and I don't want them growing up and all of a sudden I blink and I've missed that. It's just something I'll have to address and try to figure out."
Brown has repeatedly said that if he does return to coach next season, it will be in Charlotte.
