Buck_SA: Only 5 in history have won COY and a title in the same season. Popovich is the last one. The other 4: Auerbach, Holzman, Sharman, Jackson.

I know the voting was probably already complete, but Thibodeau playing Rose with 1:22 left at home up by double digits against a #8 and him tearing his ACL, while Pop gave his 3 stars rotating nights off, going into the playoffs healthy and still getting the #1 seed cemented Pop's derservingness.

It's a travesty that Pop only has 2 COYs though.

Yeah buddy. Well deserved.

Last time Pop won COY, the Spurs won the Title. Funny thing is, it was the year SJax was still on this team.

SJax back.
Ginobli Heathly.
Duncan looking like his old self.
Lockout year.
Pop COY again.

Although I thought it would've been closer - Pop totalled 467 points with 77 votes, Thibs totalled 315 points with 27 votes; I can't be mad at that. Pop's coaching tenure is nearing its end, whereas Thibs' is just starting. I see it as a bit of a lifetime achievement award, cause if Thibs would've won:

Popovich: 16 years - 1 NBA coach of the year award
Thibodeau: 2 years - 2 NBA coach of the year awards.

He defied the laws of nature the way he managed his stars throughout a condensed schedule to take the #1 seed, as well as keeping their health in check.

He needed this win(gold) to erase that horrible finish from people's memory
