Sunday Musings: Accountability key to Mike Brown's coaching in camp
Brown's no-nonsense approach on display at Kings' training camp

Mike Brown isn’t f-n around.
The veteran coach doesn’t have time to wait for players to catch on. He has days, not months to change the conversation in Sacramento and he clearly understands the daunting task in front of him.
In a rare glimpse behind the scenes Saturday afternoon, Brown watched what looked like a grouping of first teamers, completely dropping the hammer on a set of reserves. When De’Aaron Fox launched and hit a 60-footer to end the session, the scoreboard in the practice facility quickly moved from an 11-1 advantage, to a 12-1 final score.
Fox finishes the session with a bomb.

Before heading to the line to shoot free throws as a team, Brown pulled the group to center court and had an honest discussion with second-year point guard Davion Mitchell, as well as the rest of the group.
Pretty intense coaching moment from today’s practice in Sacramento. One of the few times we’ve ever seen one of these situations as media. Short, but valuable open media session today and a glimpse into Mike Brown’s style.

These coaching moments likely happen all the time. They don’t usually happen with members of the media in the room.
