Warriors’ Mike Brown on Ohio State’s ‘radar,’ per report

Warriors assistant coach Mike Brown is on Ohio State’s radar to become the school’s next men’s basketball coach, according to a report from The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

A former head coach with the Cavaliers (2005-10, 2013-14) and Lakers (2011-12), he is in his first season as Steve Kerr’s lead assistant with Golden State.

Before Kerr returned to the bench this past weekend from dealing with complications from back surgery, Brown led the Warriors to 11 straight playoff wins as the acting head coach.

Ohio State announced this week that it’s parting ways with head coach Thad Matta, who compiled a 337-123 record in 13 seasons with the Buckeyes.
