Some of the responses here are exactly why Leon cast a wide net and took a long time to speak to just about every possible coach there is. He inquired about available coaches and even those who are unavailable. He then narrowed it down to a list of realistic candidates for the job.
So, for those who are criticizing the "potential" hire of Mike Brown, you have not yet answered the million-dollar question: If you don't want Brown, then who do you want who's realistic and available???

A wide net?
Do you work for the Knicks, bro?
In what reality is interviewing retread Mike Brown and 3 other guys - and only interviewing Mike Brown a second time - a 'wide net'?
Inquiring about coaches on successful teams doesn't count as a 'wide net'. There was zero chance any of those were happening.
If you're going to defend terrible moves at least provide some facts on the matter.
What you just wrote is Dolan propaganda BS. Nothing more. I don't consider interviewing 4 guys a wide net' at all. This was an abysmal coaching search to end up with a worse version of Thibodeau.

Haha, no, I don't work for the KNICKS. I'm simply going on speculation and rumors just like you are. According to the same "reports" you've been basing your opinions on (unless, of course, YOU work for the KNICKS), Leon cast a wide net by attempting to speak to multiple coaches -- some of whom are under contract and unavailable.
Regardless, wide net or not is irrelevant, and my original question remains on the table: If you're not happy with the coaches who are rumored to be among the finalists, then who do you want???????
You've spent a lot of time complaining without ever once mentioning the choice that would be perfect for YOU that has somehow been overlooked, ignored, and is not in the running.
After all this I'm told I need to be happy and excited for Mike Brown. It's the same old thing. Knicks make literally ANY move and there is a collection of people who sill support it no matter what it is, then tell others they're being bad fans by not supporting said terrible move. It's a cycle that has been going on forever and will never end.

Maybe if you spent time reading my post you would know I wanted to search far and wide for the best basketball minds - assistants and beyond. I’m not going to name every assistant in the league. I had some guys in mind. Sam Cassell, Chris Quinn, Johnnie Bryant, etc. Many more. I thought we needed to be innovative. This is not an innovative hire. This is a trash hire.
But as I said in the post you didn’t read,After all this I'm told I need to be happy and excited for Mike Brown. It's the same old thing.

I read in here he is a defensive minded HC who isn't very good with defense.
I read things that lead me to believe he lost the locker room in year 3 in SAC.
Only has one losing season in his career.
Sell me this pen!!

Probably should have a simplified the process and just hired Borrego for Thibs and saved Dolan 30 million.
Woodson
Payne
Bryant
Were all hired to help Thibodeau and they all left 1 by 1, and former players say Thibodeau wants to be in control of everything from practice to actual games.
He ignored Jalen and Rick when they were telling him to take out the starters in Game 6 against the Celtics even in a blow out.
The only people Thibodeau listened to were those that would tell him if he should challenge a call.
