Mike Brown has emerged as the frontrunner to replace Tom Thibodeau as head coach of the New York Knicks after a successful second interview. However, he requires approval from team owner James Dolan to finalize the hiring. Brown, recognized for his defense-first coaching approach and for winning Coach of the Year with Sacramento in 2022-23, has garnered positive feedback during the interview process. The team has indicated to prospective free agents that their search for a new head coach is nearing resolution.
Nearly a month after firing Tom Thibodeau, the New York Knicks have finally-or so it looks-found a replacement of their liking. That'd be former Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown, who has emerged as the frontrunner following a second interview with the organization on Tuesday.
Yet sources briefed on the process stressed Tuesday that Brown, who has been in New York for the past two days, will require ultimate endorsement from Knicks owner James Dolan before he can be named Thibodeau's successor.
