"He has made every team he has ever coached a winner, with a legendary
approach to teaching and motivating his players," Thomas said. "His value to us
as a franchise at this time is immeasurable."
Brown guided the US 2004 Olympic team to a disappointing bronze-medal finish
at Athens but will have more time to revive the Knicks.
"My challenge is to get our team to play the way we can be most successful,"
Brown said. "I will try to give them an environment in which they can be
successful. I wouldn't be here if I didn't believe in this roster."
Brown is 987-741 as an NBA coach, guiding all seven of the teams he has
coached into the playoffs. He was the 2001 NBA Coach of the Year when he guided
the Philadelphia 76ers to the NBA Finals.
When the Pistons upset the Los Angeles Lakers in last
year's NBA Finals, Brown became the only coach to have won US major college and
NBA crowns.
