NEW YORK<\/strong> \u2013 Mike Brown hasn\u2019t waited. Since joining the New York Knicks<\/a> earlier this month, he\u2019s cleared out five assistant coaches. League sources told<\/a> Stefan Bondy of The New York Post<\/em> that Andy Greer, Dice Yoshimoto, Daniel Brady, and Othella Harrington are all out. The Knicks fired these assistants quietly but decisively as Brown begins reshaping the bench to his vision.<\/p>\n

Yoshimoto stands out among the exits. He followed Tom Thibodeau from Chicago to Minnesota, then to New York. He even led the Knicks\u2019 Summer League team to the 2022 finals. But Jordan Brink, a video department standout, replaced him this summer. The Knicks fired assistants who carried Thibodeau\u2019s voice. Brown seems determined to make the room his.<\/p>\n

Nick Thibodeau, Tom\u2019s nephew and former assistant video coordinator, is also gone. HoopsHype<\/em>\u2019s Michael Scotto confirmed it. The Knicks have made changes to the coaching staff without public drama, but the moves are sweeping. It marks a clear end to the Thibodeau era\u2014even in the film room.<\/p>\n
