The New York Knicks hired Mike Brown as their head coach. After Tom Thibodeau’s departure, the team desperately searched for someone to lead them to the title. Now, Brown is on his way to follow his duty.

While the New York Knicks haven't found significant success consistently in several decades, new head coach Mike Brown understands the expectations that come with leading the historic franchise.

Another NBA offseason means another opportunity for New York Knicks president Leon Rose to remain in hiding. Rose has not held a solo press conference with the New York media since taking over the Knicks in April 2020.

The Knicks interviewed Borrego during their search for a head coach and eyed him as a potential lead assistant for Mike Brown.

“Nobody has bigger expectations, first of all, than I do,” Brown said. “My expectations are high. This is the Knicks. I talked about Madison Square Garden being iconic. I talked about our fans. I love and embrace the expectations that come along with it. I’m looking forward to it.”

The Mike Brown era began on Tuesday with the Knicks’ new head coach laying out his expectations for the organization and emphasizing the importance of forming a partnership with team president Leon Rose.
