Why Does it Seem Like It's Lewis' Choice Whether He Returns?

[Benton]

Personally, I think Marvin leaked the "I'm leaving" story as a way to make Brown extend an offer. I think he knows he will be back, he just wants to get the deal out of the way so he can enjoy his January-February in peace like normal, sitting on his couch and laughing at those other coaches who got stuck working another month.
