While new head coach Mike Brown and the New York Knicks have yet to fully fill out the coaching staff, New York made the first hire of Brown’s tenure earlier this week when it was announced that the Knicks would be adding player development coach Riccardo Fois to Brown’s staff.
Fois, who worked with Brown in Sacramento, is just 38 years old, but has had years of experience around the game.
The Italian-born 6’2” coach was a part of the Italian National U-16 team in 2003, and moved to the United States in the late 2000s and played a season of Division I basketball at Pepperdine University, where he was named to the WCC Commissioner’s Honor Roll.
