Brown was named coach of the Cavs in the summer of 2005. They went to the playoffs in his first season and in 2007, the Cavs beat the Detroit Pistons to make the Eastern Conference Finals. The Cavs won more than 60 games in Brown's final two years with the team, eventually being fired in 2010 for not being able to get the team over the hump.
He returned to the Cavs for the 2014-14 season only to be fired again after the team posted a losing record. His overall record with the Cavs during his six seasons: 305-187.
