Knicks and Brown Resolve Contract Issue
"The Knicks and their former coach Larry Brown have settled their contract dispute, the National Basketball Association announced last night. Under the settlement, none of the parties are allowed to provide the details of it or to comment on it.
Commissioner David Stern, who served as the arbitrator in the dispute, announced the resolution.
''Neither the club nor Larry have any future obligation to each other and have assured me, in response to my direction and request, that there will be no further public discussion of the matter,'' Stern said in a statement released just after 11 p.m.
A Knicks spokesman said the team would not comment.
Brown was fired in June after leading the Knicks to a 23-59 record in his lone season with the team. The Knicks withheld the $41 million remaining on Brown's contract, saying he had violated terms of the deal. The contract provided that Stern would arbitrate any dispute."
