Mike Brown, who emerged within the past week as the leading candidate, was stamped as Tom Thibodeau’s replacement after a meeting with James Dolan, ending a monthlong search with more plot twists than a season of “Breaking Bad.”

After a lengthy coaching search, New York hired Mike Brown to be the franchise’s new bench boss. Brown has loads of experience as an NBA coach and has a knack for building great relationships with his players, and he’s wasted no time doing so since getting hired.

On Monday, Knicks backup point guard Miles McBride appeared on the Today Show where he shared his excitement for Brown’s hiring.
