Knicks just got clear proof of how much pressure Mike Brown is under

Just in case you need another reminder that the New York Knicks are placing a lot of faith in Mike Brown to get them over the championship hump, the folks over at ESPN have one hot off the press.

A panel of NBA insiders was asked to predict who will win Coach of the Year for the 2025-26 season. New York’s freshly hired head honcho finished fourth, and was a heartbeat away from second place. Here are the full results:

  1. Jamahl Mosley, Orlando Magic (48 points)
  2. Quin Snyder, Atlanta Hawks (24 points)
  3. Ime Udoka, Houston Rockets (22 points)
  4. Mike Brown, New York Knicks (21 points)
  5. Mitch Johnson, San Antonio Spurs (16 points)

This list tracks with historical Coach of the Year trends.
