Erik Spoelstra & Mike D'Antoni to share NBCA Coach of The Year

[El Guapo]

Never in the history of NBAdom has a coach even been in the convo of Coach of the Year and not in the postseason

Doc won it in 2000 and the Magic didn't make the playoffs.

Doc won it in 2000 and the Magic didn't make the playoffs.

I stand corrected

 

[KRiLL (+)]

 

[madness]

Yall mad Spo's peers respect him more than they respect your team's coach?

 

[El Guapo]

I stand corrected

It's one of those things I remember because I think Phil mentioned the "not even making the playoffs" thing about it when Doc won

But they were 41-41 with Darrell Armstrong as the best player so I don't really blame the voters on that one.

How isn't Brad Stevens in the COY conversation? How wasn't he in the running for this award?

How isn't Brad Stevens in the COY conversation? How wasn't he in the running for this award?

Bc his peers dont respecr him

 

[Da_Eggman]

Filipino God up in this

 

[L&HH]

Both definitely deserve it, I think Scott Brooks did an excellent job in Washington as well

Brad Stevens and Quin Snyder as well. Any 4 of them could have won it.

 

[William F. Russell]

Bc his peers dont respecr him

Not true.

Gregg Popovich: Boston Celtics' Brad Stevens 'one of the fine coaches in the (NBA) now already'

Frank Vogel and Brad Stevens became friends in Indianapolis

Speaks to the talent on the roster or lack there of if a coach wins this award with no postseason. Lookin at you Riley

 

[Remote]

Kevin McHale took the Rockets from 34 wins
to 45 wins
to 54 wins
to 56 wins

Then got fired after a 4-7 start in 2015
The team finished 41-41 with Bickerstaff.

Then D'Antoni comes in and they win 55 this year.

What has D'Antoni really done?

 

[Houston911]

Mike D'antoni was robbed

Smh
