The New York Knicks took their time and in the end hired proven winner Mike Brown as their next head coach.
According to several reports, Brown's contract is for four years and will pay him $40 million.
Brown has "championship pedigree," Knicks president says
A former two-time NBA Coach of the Year, Brown takes over for Tom Thibodeau, who was fired on June 3, not long after leading New York to its first Eastern Conference finals appearance in 25 years.
"Mike has coached on the biggest stages in our sport and brings championship pedigree to our organization," Knicks president Leon Rose said in a statement.
