Overview

• ESPN and other outlets report Billy Lange is leaving Saint Joseph’s to join Mike Brown’s New York Knicks staff.
• Lange is expected to oversee the Knicks’ player development program, according to SNY and the New York Daily News.
• Saint Joseph’s promoted associate coach Steve Donahue to head coach following Lange’s decision, the Associated Press reported.
• A former 76ers assistant, Lange ran player development in Philadelphia from 2013–19 and guided St. Joe’s to back‑to‑back 20‑win seasons and consecutive NIT bids.
• The hire comes as the Knicks reshape Brown’s staff — adding assistants such as Chris Jent, Brendan O’Connor and T.J. Saint while retaining Rick Brunson and Maurice Cheeks — with development emphasized for a largely intact core near the second apron.
