Michael Burton Brown (born March 5, 1970) is an American basketball coach. Brown is currently the assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Brown is the former head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has also coached the Los Angeles Lakers, and is widely regarded as a defensive specialist.
Brown began coaching the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2005 and turned the Cavaliers into one of the top defensive teams in the NBA, reaching the 2007 NBA Finals, where they were swept by the San Antonio Spurs. Brown was honored as NBA Coach of the Year for leading the Cavaliers to a team record and league best 66 wins in 2009, and 61 wins, again a league best, in 2010. However, after losing to the Orlando Magic in the 2009 Eastern Conference Finals, and the Boston Celtics in the 2010 Eastern Conference Semifinals, he was fired after failing to win an NBA Championship with the Cavaliers. He succeeded Phil Jackson as the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers in 2011 before being fired after the start of the following season.
