National Basketball Coaches Association: After Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown was fired following a disappointing start to the NBA season, Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone stated the franchise showed ‘no class’ in dealing with the 54-year old’s departure

Malone previously worked with the Kings before he was fired by owner Vivek Ranadive in 2014.

"I'm not surprised that Mike Brown got fired, because I got fired by the same person and what really pissed me off about it was the fact that they lost [Thursday] night, fifth game in a row, I believe. Tough loss. ... They had practiced this morning. He does his postgame media, and he's in his car going to the airport to fly to L.A. and they call him on the phone. No class. That's what I'll say about that," Malone was quoted saying by ESPN
