- Brown holds an 11-season head coaching record of 454-304, including an Eastern Conference title with Cleveland in 2006-07 and two NBA Coach of the Year awards, while Jenkins is 40 years old and Brown is 55.
- The Knicks' coaching search highlights the attractiveness of the vacancy amid stalled negotiations with other candidates, and the team aims to move forward with Jenkins and Brown to end a 52-year title drought.
