A person with knowledge of the details says the New York Knicks have offered their coaching job to Mike Brown and are working to finalize a deal with the two-time NBA Coach of the Year.

Brown is expected to be hired as the new head coach of the Knicks following the team's best season this century.

The New York Knicks will interview two-time NBA Coach of the Year Mike Brown for a second time as they seek Tom Thibodeau's replacement, a person with knowledge of the details said Monday. Brown's return this week will make him the first of the known candidates to get a second interview for the position that has been vacant for nearly a month.
