The Sacramento Kings' decision to fire head coach Mike Brown on Friday sent shockwaves across the NBA world. How the Kings went about the move, though, brought the organization heaps of criticism, including from other head coaches across the league.
Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle and current Denver Nuggets and former Kings coach Michael Malone all publicly criticized Brown's firing. Malone specifically called out the organization for the manner in which they fired Brown. The team shared the news over the phone while Brown was on the way to the airport to fly to Los Angeles for Sacramento's next game against the Lakers.
