Last Year's Coach of the Year, Fired This Season for Criticizing Team Leader! Kerr is Disappointed!
The core players of a team have an important tactical position and team voice, after all, they are the important guarantee of the team's record and box office, so the leader of each team must be well taken care of. Offending the team leader really doesn't have any good results to eat, and this is what a coach has taught everyone.
The Kings fired head coach Mike Brown. Before his arrival, the Kings were not in an ideal situation, but the work done by Brown and his team was obvious to all, and it was unexpected that he was fired so quickly.
According to American media analysis, the main reason for Brown's dismissal may be that he criticized star player Fox after the Kings were tragically defeated by the Pistons. He said after the game that the last defense was to let the players foul quickly, rather than give three points, but the players did not execute according to his arrangements. It was unexpected that he was fired like this, which is indeed surprising.
Mike Brown began coaching the Kings in 2022, leading the Kings to a record of 48 wins and 34 losses in the 2022-23 season, with a winning rate of 58.5%, ranking third in the West and seventh in the league, helping the Kings reach the playoffs after 16 years.
This is also the first time the Kings have made it to the playoffs since 2006, greatly boosting the morale and confidence of the team. Brown was also unanimously elected as the Coach of the Year this season, which is really a great honor. Unexpectedly, he was fired so quickly, which is too embarrassing.
According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Warriors head coach Kerr responded to the firing of Kings head coach Mike Brown: Kerr said he was very shocked to hear the news of Brown's dismissal and expressed disappointment. Kerr believes that Brown is a good friend and an excellent coach.
The Kings will have a new coach again in the future. If the record improves, it's okay, but if it doesn't, then the team management will pay for their decision this time.
