James Allen+FollowHornets Assistant Chris Jent Finalizing Deal to Become Knicks’ Associate Head CoachChris Jent is heading back to New York, where he played during the 1996-97 season — this time joining the Knicks’ bench as Mike Brown’s associate head coach. According to Shams Charania, the Charlotte Hornets assistant is finalizing a deal with New York, with terms negotiated between the Knicks and Tyler Glass of CSE Talent. This marks a return to the franchise for Jent, who has built a lengthy coaching résumé since his playing days. Jent’s career includes assistant coaching stints across the NBA, stops in the G League, and work with college programs. His experience and familiarity with the league could provide valuable support for Mike Brown as the Knicks aim to make a deep playoff push. #NBA #Knicks #Hornets #ChrisJent #MikeBrown #NBANews #Sports 10Share
Brian Gaines+FollowIs Mike Brown the Missing Piece for KAT & Brunson?Knicks fans, what do you think—should we go all-in on Mike Brown instead of Jenkins? Sure, Jenkins is the frontrunner, but Brown’s track record with guard-center duos (think Fox & Sabonis in Sacramento) feels like a perfect fit for our own Jalen Brunson and KAT. With Thibs gone, it’s time to lean into offense and fix that pick-and-roll. Is Brown the coach to finally get us over the hump? #Knicks #MikeBrown #Brunson #Sports #Basketball10Share
Ryan Lopez+FollowKnicks Eye Mike Brown for Coaching Shakeup?Looks like the Knicks are turning heads with their coaching search! Word is, they're giving serious thought to Mike Brown—the same guy who snapped the Kings’ 16-year playoff drought and has two NBA Coach of the Year awards. With his ties to Knicks prez William Wesley (remember those Cavs days with King James?), this could get interesting. Some fans are still salty about how the Kings let Brown go, so could he be the game-changer New York needs? #Knicks #MikeBrown #NBACoaching #Sports #Basketball32Share
