Brown worked every week of ABC's coverage, broadcasting some games with veteran broadcaster <a href="/wiki/Mike_Breen" title="Mike Breen">Mike Breen</a>. For the <a href="/wiki/2005-06_NBA_season" class="mw-redirect" title="2005-06 NBA season">2005–2006 season</a>, the pair were slated to remain as ABC's lead broadcast team.

This gave ABC its first consistent lead broadcaster since Brad Nessler, as Breen (unlike Michaels) did games every week.

Barry Horn of the <i><a href="/wiki/Dallas_Morning_News" class="mw-redirect" title="Dallas Morning News">Dallas Morning News</a></i> said that Michaels was simply "not a basketball guy".
