The New York Knicks are expected to hire Mike Brown as their new head coach, replacing Tom Thibodeau. Brown, a two-time Coach of the Year, has a mixed record as a head coach, including ending the Sacramento Kings' playoff drought but also getting fired mid-season. This hire comes with high expectations for the Knicks, despite Brown's inconsistent performance in previous head coaching roles. His previous success as an assistant coach under Gregg Popovich and Steve Kerr is a notable factor in the decision.
