FILE - Golden State Warriors assistant coach Mike Brown gestures during an NBA basketball game against the Portland Trail Blazers in San Francisco, Nov. 4, 2019. The Sacramento Kings have agreed to hire Brown as their new head coach. A person familiar with the decision confirmed on Sunday, May 8, 2022, that Brown will take over the franchise with the longest playoff drought in NBA history. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the hiring.
Brown is expected to remain with the Warriors for the rest of their playoff run before making the short move to Sacramento where he will be the latest former Golden State coach to take over the Kings. Since moving to Sacramento in 1985, the Kings have had only one stretch of success, making the playoffs in all eight seasons under coach Rick Adelman from 1999-2006. Adelman was fired in 2006 and remains the only coach in the Sacramento era to post a winning record in any season.
Brown returned to Cleveland the following season and went 33-49 before getting fired again after one season.
