Larry Brown certainly forced his defensive will upon the New York Knicks.

True, but in all fairness no coach could have gotten that ill-conceived roster to achieve on the defensive end. Curry, James, Crawford, Marbury, Rose, etc. all have long history's of less then adequate defensive effort (which explains why they have all moved at least once in their career).

---

That same rationale could excuse Brown who was handed the youngest roster in the entire league given the struggles young players routinely have on the defensive end. Brown does have a more developed track record, though!

I would agree if I saw the effort on the court, but I can't say that was the case - albeit I obviously don't watch every game.
