Already elected “Coach of the Year” by the coaches’ union, Mike Brown should logically also be elected by journalists. It must be said that the coach had a superb first season at the head of the Kings, bringing the team back to the playoffs after 17 years of absence, even winning 3rd place in the Western Conference!
For Monte McNair, the club’s GM, his coach was indeed the perfect choice.
“Often you have an idea of what a coach could be, but the most important thing is that it sticks, and Mike fits perfectly with this team”he explained on the set of NBC Sports. “He knew how to get the best out of all the players, from 1st to 17th, and he managed to face the most experienced team in these playoffs with one of the least experienced, and win the first game in a fierce battle, trailing by 10 points. »
Words made before Game 2, which also confirmed them since the Kings won again, to push Stephen Curry’s Warriors into a situation they had never known…
“The head coach plays a huge role in all of this, Mike has been fantastic and deserves coach of the year. A title that should be awarded unanimously. »
Will this be the case? We will have the answer in a few days. In any case, Mike Brown will undoubtedly receive his second “Coach of the Year” trophy, after that of 2008/09. At the time, he was coaching the Cavaliers.
