The New York Knicks have appointed Mike Brown as their new head coach after a tumultuous search that saw them part ways with Tom Thibodeau, who led the team to its first conference finals in 25 years.

Brown, the 2023 Coach of the Year with the Sacramento Kings, is expected to elevate the Knicks' performance this upcoming season. Throughout the coaching search, Micah Nori, an assistant with the Minnesota Timberwolves, emerged as a strong candidate. His insights on player workload and production left a positive impression during the interview process. Despite not securing the head coach position, Nori's interview experience could lead him to future opportunities.
