The entire team's budget is considerably less than his UA coaching salary, so he must need something to do. Good for him! Hey, it did wonders for George Karl and Phil Jackson.

Absolutely, he needs to do something....he stated that Jamie wants him out of the home doing something...this is something...helps the resume and helps out the greater Albany community

Happy for Coach Brown.  Found this interesting in an article I read about it.  I wonder who that might be.

"He told reporters he had interviewed for a college coaching job recently, but felt it wasn’t worth relocating his family for."

I just heard a piece on WNYT, their sportscaster knew little more like nothing about Will's decision. Will's explanation is reasonable in light of his previous desire to return to a head coaching position however; he has expanded the opportunities he would consider.  Best wishes Will in your future endeavors.

Many may disagree with me but IMO UA should bring him back. With a new arena, locker rooms, etc. I'm sure he can recruit better than he did in the past. But we know Benson will never allow it because rumor has it he wanted Brown gone for a long time. I'd personally welcome Will Brown back with open arms.

Disagree...strong disagree without rehashing this. Fire Benson, fire DK...bring in a competent AD and let him rebuild.

Further, I believe WB has move on ... looking to settle down elsewhere ... which would be best for him and for us.

Seems like many have forgotten the massive amount of bad basketball, offense that scored 30pts (if lucky) in a half, brutal recruiting etc. The highs were great...the lows were long, boring and uninspired. For many years got worked over by the top of the league and stopped being a threat or even competitive against the top. 

No thanks! Will always have found memories of the highs...UCONN game, Hooley shot, the chips he won...but it was the definition of feast or famine.

Nobody has forgotten that in between the five trips to the NCAA D1 Tournament ... there was low points and disappointments however Will Brown's overall record at UAlbany was 315 wins - 295 losses ... taking the fact of what occurred in his early tenure, admirable further no one here is advocating for Will Brown's return... thanks for reminding me what you are about .... the negative
