Who is your NBA Coach of the Year?

[roc boy jada]

I don't think that there is any clear cut winner right now. I really think it is between these men.

Phil Jackson

Byron Scott

Rick Adelman

Doc Rivers

Out of all these guys I would go with Byron Scott.

 

[iceman3699]

Byron Scott.. most def

 

[kb8sandiego]

As much as I hate him when he was coaching the Kings, I'd give it to Adelman.

 

[nyk orange and blue]

Isiah Thomas

 

[kash55]

Phil or Doc.
Phil if the Lakers are number #1 in the west.
I looked into it and he has only won once...i thought there would be more.

 

[airjordan jb23]

Byron Scott...

With Bryon Scott a close second.

 

[mister916]

Rick Adelman

 

[lnmymind]

Mo Cheeks is my darkhorse candidate...

Dude made chicken salad out of chicken %%*%. Albeit they're in the East...what he's done with THAT team is pretty significant.

 

[stringer bell 32]

Doc Rivers

Tough call, but you couldn't go wrong with Byron Scott, Rick Adelman or Phil Jackson.

Yep. I'd say out of those 3, the one that ends up with the #1 seed or the best record out of those three.

 

[frenchblue23]

Byron Scott, but I'd say it's too early to call it..... You have the Rockets, Lakers, and Hornets still battling for that #1 spot.

And yes, the COY will come from the West.

Adelman with Scott right behind him.

Why Doc Rivers? The success on that team is due to the players.

I'd give it to Byron Scott.

 

[MON5T3R]

Doc Rivers

 

[TheGift23]

Adelman.

 

[c1o27]

Eddie Jordan should be in there...

 

[mw2889]

Seymour Butts aka Mo Cheeks

 

[kobe8is]

I would go with Byron Scott or Phil Jackson!!

 

[gregodensbedpan]

adelman or scott.

 

[shuges]

Adelman.

Scott has Peja, CP3, Tyson, and West.

Doc has the Three Amigos.

Phil has Dirty Snake, Lamar, Bynum (and now Pau).

Rick has the second longest streak in L history. I think a lot of you are over-looking this streak and bit of history here. He also has the Rockets in FIRSTplace in the West (without Yao) when everyone predicted that Houston wouldn't even be in the top 8 right now.

Hell, Byron and Phil may not even MAKE the playoffs if they have a bad week (which is entirely possible). Rick may not either, but he still has the streak topoint at.

It's still early, but to me this isn't even close right now.

 

[toy collector123]

Rick... dude is a beast in the locker room.

You could say that about every team. You certainly have to commend him for how the players blended in right away. No chemistry issues, and the best recordin the NBA. Ubuntu.

Anyways, after saying that, I'd still give it to Phil Jackson. Going into the season with the whole Kobe situation, there was potential for disaster.And ultimately they are right near the top of the Western Conference. He's resurrected the Lakers in just a year of being there again.
