Larry Brown had a face-to-face meeting with the Detroit Pistons for the first time this month, and his future is still not resolved.

Brown, his agent, team owner Bill Davidson and president of basketball operations Joe Dumars got together Wednesday morning, and decided they need to talk again.

``The four of them had an open discussion,'' Pistons spokesman Matt Dobek said. ``They decided that both sides have a clearer understanding of the situation and decided to discuss this again Thursday via phone.''
