The Cavaliers have struggled to stay on top of the Eastern Conference after coach Mike Brown helped take the team to its first NBA finals last season. Team owner Dan Gilbert showed his support for Brown hasn’t wavered by giving him a two-year contract extension Monday that will keep him with the club through the 2010-11 season.
“This is a way for us to show him that we believe in him and that we look for more great things to come,” general manager Danny Ferry said.
Brown is in his third season with the Cavaliers, who were swept in the finals by San Antonio. His contract was to expire after the 2008-09 season.
