Marc Berman of the New York Post is reporting that Shelly Brown, wife of Larry, told a confidant on Tuesday night that she believes his return to the Knicks bench stands at 50-50.

"They were the last to know that Davidson wanted to fire him when everybody else seemed to know (last July)," the source said. "They have no idea what's going on."

The part of the situation that has been most troubling to the Browns has been the lack of a public denial from the Knicks.
