According to multiple reports, spearheaded by ESPN’s Shams Charania, the New York Knicks have offered Mike Brown their head coaching position and he will be their new head coach.
As apart of the final process to securing the job, Brown met with James Dolan on Tuesday. Brown will be replacing Tom Thibodeau, as New York is hopeful this will allow themselves to be pushed into the NBA Finals.
Brown has an impressive coaching resume, as he is a two-time NBA Coach of the Year winner. Plus, he won four championships with the San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors as their assistant coach.
Taylor Jenkins and Micah Nori were interviewed for this job, however, they didn’t get as far as Mike Brown did. Originally, Jason Kidd was New York’s top choice, but the Dallas Mavericks had no interest in getting rid of their coach. Same with Ime Udoka and the Houston Rockets.
