AUBURN HILLS, Mich. —
Detroit hired Hall of Famer
Larry Brown to make a good
team better.
Brown was introduced as the
Pistons’ coach Monday, two
days after Rick Carlisle was fired
and one year after Carlisle was
the NBA’s Coach of the Year.
Brown, 62, inherits a 50-win
team that has a talented, young
nucleus and holds the No. 2 pick
in the June 26 draft.
“He is the pre-eminent coach
in the league to me,” said Joe
Dumars, team president of bas
ketball operations.
Brown, who resigned as
76ers coach on May 26 after six
seasons, will be paid $25 mil
lion over five years, according
to a source within the NBA
who spoke on the condition
of anonymity.
Brown was released from a
contractual clause that prohibit
ed him from coaching another
NBA team if he left
Philadelphia prematurely.
“This is a team 1 admired
from afar,” Brown said Monday.
“I promise you this: Every
time we step out on the court,
we’ll represent this franchise the
way it’s supposed to be repre
sented,” he said. “You won’t be
embarrassed by the effort.”
Dumars first contacted
Brown’s agent Joe Glass on
Friday night, and the deal was
done by Saturday around 6 p.m.
Carlisle was fired Saturday
after leading Detroit to the
Eastern Conference finals for
the first time since 1991. He
was fired with one year and $2
million left on his contract
despite winning two straight
division titles and 100 regular-
season games.
He said Monday that he plans
to pursue coaching jobs this week
during the NBA’s predraft camp.
“I’m going to talk to two
teams in Chicago about potential
opportunities, and I’m excited
about that,” Carlisle said, less
than an hour before Brown was
announced as his successor.
Brown had two years left in
his contract that paid him $6 mil
lion per season in Philadelphia.
“We want to be successful
for every year for a long, long
time,” Brown said. “Every
year, come playoff time, we
want to have an honest chance
to win a championship.”
Brown also coached Denver
(five years), Indiana (four years),
San Antonio (3 1/2 years). New
Jersey (two years), Carolina of
the ABA (two years) and the
Clippers (18 months).
He has an 879-685 record in
the NBA, and is 1,285-853 over
all, including the ABA and col-
Brown’s in
Larry Brown has been selected
as the Detroit Pistons' new head
coach for a $25 million, five-yeai
deal. He replaced Rick Carlisle
who was fired Saturday.

IRVING, Texas — Bill Parcells won’t say he’s
comfortable with the Dallas Cowboys’ quarter
back situation, but the coach insisted Monday that
Chad Hutchinson or Quincy Carter will be the
starter this fall.
Not Brian Griese or anybody else from outside
the organization. , . ,
“We are going to go the way we are. If there was
somebody we were interested in, I’d tell you,” Parcells
said. “Right now, we’ll go with who we’ve got.”
Griese became available Monday when he was
cut by Denver after four seasons as the starter there.
The Broncos signed free agent Jake Plummer to a
seven-year deal in March.
There has been speculation since Parcells became
the Cowboys’ coach in January that he might look
for a veteran quarterback, much like he did when he
acquired Vinny Testaverde while with the New
York Jets. Griese, a past Pro Bowler, seemed the
logical choice.
Griese’s agent, Ralph Cindrich, has said the quar
terback could end up in Dallas or in Miami, where
his father, Hall of Famer Bob Griese, played there.
“I’m not going to be involved with Brian Griese,
Parcells said.
Owner Jerry Jones said there were several reasons
the Cowboys weren’t really interested in Griese.
“We’ve got repetition considerations. Ifweaddi
quarterback right now, then we’ve got rep problems
as far as getting the guys ready that we have,” Jons
said Monday. “That also implies that the guys weV
got here might not be what we want, and that’si
the case.” >
“I have to be equitable with these guys and{»i 1
D
uring
2003
them an equal chance,” Parcells said. “I don’t tlii
you can just say this guy is a starter. We are going!!
let them fight it out at camp, and figure it out as
as possible.”
Hutchinson started the final nine games last sea
son. As a 25-year-old rookie, who hadn’t |
football in four years while pursing a career as
fessional baseball pitcher, he completed 127of250
passes (51 percent) for 1,553 yards with seven
touchdowns and eight interceptions.
“The approach I’ve taken from day one is no mat
ter who they bring in or what the situation is forme,
I’ve got to handle my business the best I can,
Hutchinson said. “This year, I feel a lot more com
fortable, a lot more confident.’’

HOUSTON — The
Astrodome’s landlords put out the
call Monday for anyone with
ideas —- and the means to imple
ment them — of how save the
“Eighth Wonder of the World.”
The request for proposals, or
REP, includes a June 16 tour of
the world’s first indoor stadium,
which has become a 38-year-old
antique that hosts occasional
high school football or baseball
games or motocross and costs
Harris County taxpayers about
$1.5 million a year to keep
cooled, lit and maintained.
Minute Maid Park downtown
took the stadium’s primary tenant,
baseball’s Houston Astros, in
2000. In recent years the
University of Houston returned to
its on-campus stadium and new
Reliant Stadium next door now
hosts the NFL Houston Texans,
the annual Houston rodeo and
most other stadium-sized events
once slated for the Astrodome.
“Our hope is this process
will find a solution where the
past and future will work
together,” said Mike Surface,
chairman of the Harris County
Sports & Convention Corp.,
which oversees the county-
owned Reliant Park complex
that includes the Astrodome.
Though the request is open to
ideas for the stadium’s redevel
opment, Surface said there are
limits. Bidders must demon
strate economic and structural
feasibility and the plan cannot
interfere with the leasehold
rights of the Texans or the rodeo
or duplicate other venues
Reliant Park, such as the Relianl
Center convention facility.
Surface said he believes a
multi-use plan, such as a hotel
built inside the stadium along will)
small “Branson, Missouri-type'
concert halls and a horse arena to
replace aging Reliant Arena, is
possible. He expects any projects
to cost between $100 million anti
$500 million.
The deadline for proposals is
Aug. 8, but Houston-based restau
rant magnate and develops
Tilman Fertitta said Monday te
was all ears.
“We’re going to look at the
REP, (but) we don’t know what
they’re asking for and what the
economics are,” said Fertitta,
chairman and chief executive of
Landry’s Restaurants Inc.
“We’re very creative, so you
never know.”
Fertitta, who like Surface is a
native of the area, said it’s impor
tant to try to keep Houston’s most
well-known landmark intact,
“But if it doesn’t work, il
doesn’t work,” Fertitta said of
potential proposals. “You can't
let it sit there and take a couple of
million dollars a year to keep it
standing there.”
Fertitta has experience in sim
ilar projects. He transformed a
wharf in nearby Kemah into a
restaurant-based tourism hub,
turned an old downtown
Houston firehouse into a new
aquarium and is converting an
abandoned downtown
into a luxury hotel across
Minute Maid Park.
