Former Knicks coach Larry Brown filed a grievance with the NBA against the team, saying New York owes him the remainder of his salary after firing him, according to published reports Thursday.

Brown, who says the Knicks should pay him $40 million, filed the grievance Wednesday, the New York Daily News and New York Post reported. The Knicks, who fired the coach after one season, claim they're not obligated to pay the full amount because Brown violated terms of his contract.

The Knicks contend Brown broke Madison Square Garden policy with his roadside interviews, a decision the team believes could save them millions.

Brown's contract had a clause that designates NBA commissioner David Stern as the arbitrator in any financial dispute he has with the Knicks.

"I've been requested by both sides to help arbitrate," Stern told the New York Post. "I don't think there's any timetable to what we're doing."

Pay his money.....if your not gonna give him more then a year to turn them around then give him his money.
 
While brown had maybe his worst year of coaching, working under Dolan can be no picnic! He will get some, but not all of his money.
 
He will get some of it, he probably won't get it all.

He did break some rules the team put in place for him so, he won't collect every penny.
 
he better get the money because if he does not it will set a dangerous precedent for other coaches who are fired with years on their contract. owners will refuse to pay their exes if Dolan gets off.

But there are rules. And if they told Larry not to talk to other GM's and try and make trades. Then Larry is on the phone (its documented) trying to work deals with other teams,. he violated a major rule.

Larry will get most of his money. He won't get all of it though. Larry is no saint here and he did some shaddy things.
