In a recent interview with the New York Post, Shelly Brown, the wife of Detroit Pistons coach Larry Brown, has said he will not coach in New York. And, health permitting, Brown will be back in Detroit.

?We're going to be back in Detroit next year. He's not going to coach the Knicks, and that's a fact. We wish the Knicks well," Shelly Brown said in a phone interview ? in which she also revealed that Larry Brown underwent surgery at the Mayo Clinic last Thursday to fix a bladder problem.
