Kiki beats his old coach

Another Bruin is now in the win column as an NBA head coach. Tonight Kiki's Nets beat the Bobcats in the Meadowlands to snap their record 18 consecutive losses to open up the season. As I watched the highlights, I thought to myself "hey, didn't Larry Brown coach at UCLA around the time that Kiki was a basketball player there?" Well, turns out my intuition was validated (according to Wikipedia). Yes, it was 30 season ago that in his senior year at UCLA he played for Mr. Larry Brown and the UCLA team that went to the championship game. Must be nice to beat an old college coach for your first win as one right?
