Ashley McGeachy Fox of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports: Rumors are swirling around Larry Brown again now that the head coaching job at North Carolina has opened again. Brown, though, maintains that he is happy as the Sixers coach.

"I'm not going to say anything," he said. "I've got guys here. I love this place. I want to see my guys do well."

North Carolina has not named any front-running candidates for the job, but it is no secret that Brown wanted the job three years ago and was insulted when he did not recieve a formal interiew.

"I'm not getting into any hypotheticals," Brown said. "My only job is here. It's the only thing I'm concerned with right now."
