Knicks Reshape Coaching Staff with Mike Brown, Add Former Kings Assistants

The New York Knicks are undergoing a significant coaching staff overhaul following the hiring of new head coach Mike Brown, who is bringing in assistants from his previous tenure with the Sacramento Kings. Several assistants from the former coach Tom Thibodeau's staff, including Andy Greer, Dice Yoshimoto, Daniel Brady, Othella Harrington, and video coordinator Nick Thibodeau, are departing, while Brown has added Riccardo Fois and Charles Allen from the Kings to his staff. The Knicks are transitioning from Thibodeau's defensive style to a faster-paced, motion offense under Brown, who has a history of playoff success and championship experience as both a head coach and assistant. Brown’s hiring reflects the Knicks' high expectations to build on their recent Eastern Conference Finals appearance and push toward an NBA title, with the current core of players remaining intact. The changes in coaching personnel aim to align the staff with Brown’s vision and elevate the team’s performance to championship contention. The Knicks’ management is placing significant trust in Brown’s leadership to deliver immediate results and capitalize on their heavily invested roster.
