Mike Brown Wants To Be Head Coach Again But Will Be Selective 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Apr 18, 2018 3:31 pm

Mike Brown remains interested in becoming a head coach again but he's enjoying his current role as Steve Kerr's lead assistant coach with the Golden State Warriors.


“I want to be a head coach again," said Brown. "But if I hadn’t experienced that already and if I wasn’t in a situation that I’m already in right now, maybe the itch might be there more,” Brown said. “Maybe I might be focused more on that than the task at hand. But I’m really excited about trying to do what I can and do my part in helping us win again.”


Brown served as interim head coach for 12 games during last year's playoffs when Steve Kerr had to take a medical leave.


The New York Knicks, Phoenix Suns and Charlotte Hornets have vacancies but Brown is only interested in teams with proven rosters and front office synergy.


“I enjoy working for this organization. We have a chance to win, not just this year, but we have a chance to win for many years with the makeup of this team,” Brown said. “I enjoy winning. So because of that, it’s easy for me to want to stay.”


“He’s a really creative coach. He likes to think the game,” Gregg Popovich said of Brown. “He likes to think out of the box. He likes wine. That was enough for me. He’s a really enjoyable guy.”

That's like a 38-year old woman who's been around wanting to settle down but only with Mr. Right.

Durant is actually a huge Mike Brown fan. Talked him up on the bill simmons pod which I thought was very odd.

I’m glad Durant and Pop like Mike Brown... but if he plans on “being selective” than he will remain as Kerr’s top assistant. He’s not getting a top job in a desirable location because there are loads of better candidates. I don’t even think a bad team would look at Mike Brown, honestly.

Too bad those top tier teams will want top tier coaches though

Does he mean he's planning a coup to overthrow Kerr?

While i do think Brown could get another NBA gig, I’m not convinced he’ll ever have enough options in his lap to be selective.

He's a really good assistant, but an awful head coach.

Working under someone and an organization who doesn't accept failure is a great way for him to gain some experience and maybe spend more time picking and prying things in film. Have to give him credit. His record without Kerr was incredible. Maybe he just needs more time

I don’t believe he’s that old. He’s an assistant on a great team. I just have a feeling someone will give him a chance to coach in this league again. Let’s make a bet. I guarantee you lose. I say he is a head coach in the NBA at least one more time. You say he’s never coaching again and to trust you. Trust me you don’t know your ass from your elbow.

I say the way things are going new coaches are getting handed before established ones.
