Mike Brown explains why the trust he’s built allows him to hold players accountable

Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown spoke to the media on Friday after practice and talked about the team’s win over the New York Knicks, expanded on his postgame comments and more.

The coach shared a story about how he learned from San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich that this is a player’s league.

“Fox and Domas and HB as well, they allow me to coach them,” Mike Brown said. “And they understand that I appreciate that and I’m not going to take advantage of it, but yet they still embrace everything I say and they try to uphold their positions as leaders of this team so that everyone could be better.”
