The New York Knicks are poised to hire Mike Brown as the new head coach, according to ESPN on Wednesday, which will end a month-long coaching search.
New York fired former head coach Tom Thibodeau after the Eastern Conference finals loss to the Indiana Pacers in June and began an extensive search for a new head coach. The Knicks didn’t have luck early on as four different NBA teams refused to have their head coaches interviewed, and Villanova head coach Jay Wright declined an interview, per ESPN.
