Mike Brown Fired

Simplest explanation may be he knows the fundamentals better than anyone but has a tendency to micromanage and doesn’t know when to step back and let his guys do their thing. During year 1 guys are probably fully buying in but as time goes on the coach has to take a back seat and trust his players. i sympathize but this was what his third stop? He’s prob gonna be an assistant the rest of his career but he might be better suited for it and has 30 million reasons to not be too upset by what happened here

The whole Mike Brown redemption arc was that he spent years in the wilderness and at Golden State learning his lessons and would not repeat them. I like Mike. I appreciate what he started here. I'll even go so far as to say whatever defensive magic he cooked up in GS is probably how they won again in 2022. But unless it's a two year deal with a succession plan, he should never be given another head coaching job again.

Keegan's rebound isn't really a shock it was obvious he was being asked to do too much and even his dad alluded to this when politely replying to fans who had turned on him, but even Huerter who seemed to enjoy an inexplicable favored-nation status is playing better now.

It's just amazing to me that a guy at least partly responsible for so much magic a season and a half ago fell so quickly.

Maybe he wasn't as responsible as most assumed for that season? In other words, put Kenny Atkinson or another qualified coach in that position at that time and maybe the same thing happens?

Don't know, but it's possible if not likely that 99% of the success was simply that group of players coming together for the first time in that season and fitting pretty well.

Mike got coach of the year, but there really wasn't anything that stood out to me as him doing anything out of the ordinary "great". Sure the timing in Sacramento was big to break the playoff streak, but nothing that he was doing looked like it couldn't have been done by some others

I think Domas should get at least as much credit as Brown in hindsight. It was apparent his first game with the team something was different.

Made me wonder back then, whether Keon had expressed a different opinion one too many times for Mike. Maybe for Brown it was Ok for someone like Monk to "talk back", but not a low salary guy who was on a two-way contract just last season?

Sasha, as well, didn't strike me a a Yes Man. Things starting to make more sense now.
