Do you think hiring Mike Brown is the right move for the Knicks after Tom Thibodeau?
Mike Brown Named New York Knicks Head Coach After Rigorous Search
The New York Knicks have hired veteran coach Mike Brown—two-time NBA Coach of the Year and former Kings and Cavaliers head coach—to succeed Tom Thibodeau, who led them to the Eastern Conference Finals before his dismissal. Brown brings a 455‑304 career record, two Coach of the Year awards, and a reputation for defensive discipline and player development. While his adaptability and playoff pedigree are praised, some fans have questioned whether he offers a long‑term upgrade from Thibodeau’s structure. The decision caps a deep search that included interviews with candidates like Taylor Jenkins, Micah Nori, and Dawn Staley, and awaits final approval from owner James Dolan.
