Replacing Tom Thibodeau as head coach of the New York Knicks was always bound to be a high-pressure job for Mike Brown.
After all, considering his predecessor accumulated the fourth-most wins in club history in a span of only five seasons and had just brought them to their first Eastern Conference Finals berth in 25 years, expectations to see improved success are understandably high.
Because of this, many have speculated that Brown could be a one-and-done hire for the Knicks, as owner James Dolan has publicly declared a Finals-or-bust mandate for this year and has a decades-long track record of making rash decisions.
