Ex-NBA PG Chauncey Billups: SMU’s Larry Brown is the best coach I’ve ever played for

Posted May 20, 2015
Former Detroit Pistons guard Chauncey Billups was asked about the subject on ESPN’s SportsCenter and admitted he did something similar during his playing days under NBA Hall of Famer and now SMU head coach Larry Brown. “I did it several times,” Billups said. “Like I said, it wasn’t a slight to the coach. It’s just something I had seen. I did it with Larry Brown, who is a Hall of Fame coach… sometimes a coach doesn’t see what you can possibly see out there.” (Dallas Morning News)
