The Mike Brown era has finally begun. Now, the Knicks are looking to complete this process by hiring the coaching staff that Mike Brown wants. But according to reports, Mike Brown’s coaching staff will have many Tom Thibido holdovers a part of it. Shout out to New York basketball on the app X and NBA insider Mark Stein for giving us this following information here. According to him, the Stein Line has learned that Rick Brunson, father of Knicks star Jaylen Brunson, is expected to remain part of the Knicks coaching staff. Same is expected for some other key holdovers from Tom Thibido’s staff. You see, this initial report seems to indicate that Mike Brown doesn’t have a choice. He needs to have these type of assistance as part of his coaching staff. At least that’s what the initial reports seem to suggest. However, when you look into this situation a little bit further, thankfully that’s not the case at all. Shout out to Ian Begley with SNY for giving us this following information here. According to him, he answers the following question about Mike Brown. What about his coaching staff? According to Begley, the Knicks will not force Mike Brown to keep any of Tom Thibido’s former assistant coaches. Mike Brown and other coaches were told during the interview process that they would have the autonomy to hire their own coaching staff. So, Brown will build his own staff. He is targeting James Berago for the top role on his staff and views Berago as a great offensive coordinator of sorts. But James Burgago is under contract in New Orleans, so it could be very difficult to procure him. Brown is also considering some former Tom Thibido assistants for his coaching staff. He will evaluate his options as he gets going, but as he sorts out things, I’d strongly expect Rick Brunson, Darren Man, Mark Bryant, and Maurice Cheeks to end up on Brown’s staff. How the staff looks will ultimately be his call, but I’d be surprised if the names just mentioned above don’t end up on the final staff. So, the good news here is that all of these moves for Mike Brown’s coaching staff will be his to make. The initial report made it seem like he was being forced to add these people, but clearly that isn’t the case. He’s choosing to bring some key assistance from Tom Thibido’s staff over to his staff. Now, you might be asking, why is Mike Brown bringing some former Tom Thibido assistance to his coaching staff? The simple answer to that is experience and understanding the pressure of playing and winning in New York. All of these assistant coaches understand that probably better than any other assistant coaches that are out there. and available right now. So, it’s really not any surprise to me why Mike Brown is making some of these moves. But clearly, he’s not bringing everybody along. He might be bringing along some key people, but not everybody. He’s still going to bring along some people that he believes in the most to join his coaching staff. And as we just heard, he has roles defined for offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator. What that tells you is that for him, practice means everything. When you’re hiring offensive and defensive coordinators and you’re actually giving them a role, that means you’re taking practice very, very seriously. Shout out to Steph Bondi with the New York Post for giving us this following information as well, too. He also agrees with Ian Begley’s report that we covered earlier and he does mention that Rick Brunson will undoubtedly return on the Knicks bench for next season. Basically indicating that he will be part of the Knicks coaching staff for next year. Other assistants from last season are under contract and according to sources will be considered by Brown. So clearly Steph Bondi with the New York Post also supports the fact that Rick Brunson, Jaylen Brunson’s father, will be back with this Knicks team next season. And honestly, that’s not any surprise to me. Jaylen Brunson is your franchise point guard, your superstar point guard. I would think he likes his father a part of this Knicks organization. He likes his dad part of the Knicks coaching staff. And if you’re the new coach coming in, you don’t want to upset or anger your superstar. What would you want to do? You want to make him happy. How do you make him happy? By bringing his father, Rick Brunson, and making him a part of your coaching staff. Exactly what Mike Brown is going to do. It’s not a surprise. Honestly, it was expected in some form or fashion. I knew that Rick Brunson was going to be part of this Knicks team moving forward. I just didn’t know how until right now. Clearly Rick Brunson will return for this Knicks team next season as part of Mike Brown’s coaching staff. But speaking about coaching, another question that many Nick fans have asked recently is who is going to be coaching the Knicks summer league? We know who the new head coach of this Knicks team is going to be, but what about the summer league? Well, if you had that question, I’m happy to give you an answer to it. Shout out to James L. Edwards with The Athletic for giving us this following information here. According to him, Nick’s summer league update, Jordan Brink will be coaching New York in Las Vegas. Brink was on Thib’s staff and largely responsible for one of the best challenge success rates in the NBA. Good young coach deserving of the role. Honestly, I love this move. The experience alone is worthwhile and more than enough of giving him this role. He is deserving and I’m going to be very happy seeing him on the sidelines during summer league. But Mike Brown, going back to him and the Knicks hiring him as the next head coach of this team, I’ve seen a lot of fans either agree with the hire or vehematly disagree with the hire, just dislike it and not approve of it. In my opinion, that doesn’t really make any sense. We haven’t seen Mike Brown even coach one game yet. So, what are you criticizing? Number one, for me, the main thing that I wanted once Tom Thibido left was a new direction, a new path, a new voice. Don’t we have that right now? Even when you take Tom Thiido away, regardless of whoever the next head coach was going to be, we were always going to get that new direction. Now, that new direction comes in the form of Mike Brown. and whatever you want to say about him. His adaptability is key and one of the main reasons he was hired. He works with the Knicks front office. He works with his coaching staff. He works with his players. He listens to everyone. He takes feedback and he utilizes it as part of his coaching scheme. That is exactly the type of coach the Knicks wanted, the Knicks needed, and now they have that type of coach. And the best thing that we learned today was that nobody is forcing Mike Brown to hire any of Tom Thibido’s holdovers. The only reason he’s doing that is because he wants to do that. He sees a benefit from doing that, especially when it comes to Rick Brunson. Who in their right mind coming into this coaching job knowing that your superstars Jaylen Brunson would not bring Rick Brunson along to be part of your coaching staff? That is a smart move and it already tells you he’s already being adaptable on his first day on the job and he really hasn’t even started yet. That goes a long way in showing you why this Knicks organization ultimately chose Mike Brown to be their next head coach. I’m not angry with the move. I can’t be angry. We haven’t seen anything yet. The main thing that I wanted was a new voice, a new direction, and a new path ahead. And now we have that with Mike Brown. I’m going to wait and reserve my judgment and watch him coach this Knicks team. Watch what he does with this talented roster. And then maybe after 25 or 30 games, maybe after that point, you’ll get my real reaction and my real feelings on Mike Brown and how he’s doing as head coach of this Knicks team. But until then, I am gonna be open, hopeful, and very excited about this Knicks team going into next season. But what about you guys? What do you think about the Knicks and the decision that they made for Mike Brown’s coaching staff? That decision being they’re giving Mike Brown all the power in the world to hire any coaching staff that he wants. Let me know how you feel about that in the comments section. below, guys, because honestly, I would love to hear from you. But that’s going to do it for this episode. I hope you enjoyed it, and if you did, go ahead and smash that like button, leave a comment below, and of course, guys, please subscribe to the channel. Until next time, Nick fans, take care of yourself, your families, and each other. Peace and
