CLEVELAND, Ohio-Cleveland Cavaliers Owner Dan Gilbert has fired head coach Mike Brown (pictured in grey suit) and and hired David Griffin (pictured in Black suit) as general manager, team officials announced Monday. Brown, whom the Cavs fired in 2010 and hired again last year, has $16 million left on his five-year $20 million contract.
The firing of Brown, who is Black, comes after the Cavs failed to make the playoffs this year and ended the season with a 33-49 record. Brown succeeded Byron Scott, who is also Black. (www.clevelandurbannews.com) / (www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com)
