Cavaliers fire Brown
After more than a week of speculation, the Cleveland Cavaliers have fired head coach Mike Brown.
Brown was expected to be on the chopping block, but the Cavaliers announced that they were reviewing his job performance.
To me, it sounds more like they were researching whether or not the firing would help or hurt their chances of retaining LeBron James.
To James credit, he never threw Brown under the bus or blamed him for the team’s early playoff exit.
At the same time, it became obvious to everyone that Brown was outcoached the past two postseason trips.
