Had Larry Brown stayed Retired

If he had never coached the Knicks he would have a winning percentage of .571. But because he was chasing his win number 1000 he took a season with them and went 23 and 59, which pushed his career winning percentage down to .558. Also, after 2+ year stint at Charlotte, his career percentage has went down to .548.

However, even if he had stayed retired, he would not be in the top 10 in terms of win percentage. (Source: Basketball-Reference.com)
