Interviews for the Knicks' vacant head coaching position have begun and there is a new name in the mix.
A source confirmed that Mike Brown, former head coach of the Cavaliers and Lakers and currently an associate head coach with the Warriors, will be interviewed for the job. The Athletic was the first to report Brown will be interviewed.
Brown has had a successful, although rocky at times, tenure as an NBA head coach. After starting his career as an assistant on Gregg Popovich’s staff in San Antonio, he worked under Rick Carlisle in Indiana and then got a head coaching job at just 35 years old with Cleveland, bringing LeBron James to his first postseason berth immediately and a trip to the NBA Finals in his second season as coach.
