James Borrego is reportedly staying put after missing out on the New York Knicks' head coaching job. According to SNY's Ian Begley and Fred Katz of The Athletic, Borrego is returning to the New Orleans Pelicans next season after serving as their associate head coach last season.
“Nobody has bigger expectations, first of all, than I do,” Brown said. “My expectations are high. This is the Knicks. I talked about Madison Square Garden being iconic. I talked about our fans. I love and embrace the expectations that come along with it. I’m looking forward to it.”
However, not everyone is a fan of the hiring. Former NBA All-Star Jeff Teague insinuated on his Club 520 Podcast that he isn’t impressed with the Knicks’ coaching decision. “l ain't never really heard too many people like Mike Brown,” Teague said. “ I ain’t saying they don’t, I just never heard nobody sing high praises for Mike Brown.”
