Mike Brown: “You can go ask (Warriors general manager) Bob Myers. Throughout my six years with the Warriors, he would ask me, ‘What would be the one thing that you look for if you were to get a head (coaching) job in the future?’ I’d say, ‘The relationship has got to be there with the GM and the head coach.’ ‘If that relationship is not there, you have no chance. You have no shot. And you have to feel that, within that relationship, there’s a mutual respect which can lead into trust over time between the two guys. And that doesn’t mean we have to agree all the time. But with that mutual respect — which can turn into trust — at least if we disagree, when we walk out that door, we’re gonna be on the same page. We’re fighting for the same thing. So again, having that relationship with Wes from the past, picking up on that from Monte early on, that was probably the one big thing that excited me about this job. And then to me, the arena is fantastic. The practice facility is fantastic. This area is, in my opinion, growing and booming. I think there’s a lot of potential here, and I feel like I can help bring that out. “And then you look at the roster. Now obviously, you want to keep evolving and keep getting better. And we for sure need to continue to do that — that’s our job. But you look at some of the guys on this roster already, and there’s a lot of room to be excited about that. So I’m looking forward to being here, man.”
