Mike Brown, who previously coached the Kings, Cavs and Lakers, takes over in New York after Tom Thibodeau's exit.

The New York Knicks are expected to add Charles Allen to their coaching staff, league sources told @hoopshype. Knicks head coach Mike Brown and Allen worked together previously on the Sacramento Kings. Brown is also expected to add Riccardo Fois whom he worked with in Sacramento. https://t.co/B2mdcRuW69

Long known as a defense-first coach from his tenures leading star-studded Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers squads, Brown flipped his approach when he arrived in Sacramento, catering the club to amplify the talents of offense-first All-Stars De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, his two best players.
