After rumors of Mike Brown being on the hot seat, the Cavaliers General Manager Danny Ferry extended the coach a new 2-year contract extension that will keep him until 2010-11 season.
Brown is the winningest head coach in Cavaliers history with a .592 winning percentage (119-82). Brown has also won more playoff games (19) than any coach in Cavaliers history.
“Mike Brown brings his high character, work ethic and talent as a coach with him to work every single day. He has been, and will continue to be, important to our continued growth as a basketball team as we work towards a championship,†said Ferry. â€Dan Gilbert saw this in Mike Brown on his 1st job interview two and half years ago and it is evident today more than ever.â€
“While the stats show that Mike has been the most successful head coach in Cavaliers history, it is his great leadership and his un-flinching focus on our core values and identity that continue to make him the right guy for the job.â€
