Greg Popovich wins Coach of the year

[Hambombs]

Congrats to him. He should win it every year IMO.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Well deserved!

 

[ChicagoIrish]

In a league where coaching doesn't usually matter, Pop's is definitely a great coach.

One of the few

I actually would've voted for Clifford and hornacek before pop

Why doesn't Thibs get any love? Loses his star player (again), then the Bulls trade away Deng, in what seemed to be an attempt to bomb the season. But somehow, still makes the playoffs.

Yeah that's true. But making the playoffs in the east is not that impressive LOL

But 47 wins is....not like they made the playoffs with 38 wins as atl did

But 47 would have missed it in the West.

47 wins definitely impressive given the circumstances.

I have no problem with Pop's winning it though. Just think Thibs needs a little love.

They made it with 37 but yes 47 wins is good. But not good enough in the west

 

[Hambombs]

Oh wait yeah they won 38 lol

 

[bksballer89]

But 47 would have missed it in the West.

I get that point but 47 wins is still 47 wins. It is still pretty darn good.....it's like saying 10 wins in the nfl or 90 wins in mlb isn't good because you wouldn't have made it in the opposite conference

 

[RobToxin]

My vote would have gone to the Phoenix coach. Nobody did more with less.

 

[The Derski]

Should have gone to Jeff Hornacek. Leading a team to 48 wins in the West when none of the "experts" thought the Suns could even win 20.

Him and Clifford should've been 1-2. Charlotte won 43 games this year. Everyone knew the spurs would be good. You're an idiot if you didn't think they would be a top 3 seed out west and wouldn't win 56 plus games

I dont like giving COY to someone simply because they over achieved. Pop was heads and tails better than every coach out there and his record proves it. Hornacek needs to do the same thing next year and get into the playoffs before I start touting him.

 

[anotheridiot]

he is a dick. no reason the atlanta coach or hornacek should have gotten beat out by this putz. arrogant a hole that refuses to answer questions on nationally televised games. look at the talent he had to work with. This is one of those awards that need to go away.

I completely side with Pop by blowing off reporters and their really stupid cookie cutter questions.

Even ignoring the fact that the questions are stupid he is in the middle of a game and should be coaching his players, not answering moronic questions that only receive insincere answers as it is because anything less than insincere PC BS and the media and bone heads watching TMZPN go ape shit because what they said wasn't PC.

Pop's answers are as sincere as they can be, clearly he doesn't want to answer them because he is trying to coach his team to a victory.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Jeff Hornacek? You've got to be kidding me!

Are we giving away awards for NOT making the playoffs now?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

When is the parade?
