REPORT: James Dolan could block Knicks’ plan to hire Mike Brown
Nearly a month after firing Tom Thibodeau, the New York Knicks have finally—or so it looks—found a replacement of their liking.
That’d be former Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown, who has emerged as the frontrunner following a second interview with the organization on Tuesday.
Of course, these are the James Dolan Knicks, so you know what must happen before we can write about the official announcement: team governor Dolan must approve the move and will have the power to block the hiring altogether.
Oh, and just in case, Dolan had a little something to do with sending Thibs packing—in short, Dolan didn’t just approve the move, he initiated it.
