As of right now, my vote for Coach of the Year would also be Larry Brown. As I say about Allen Iverson, look what Larry Brown has done to a team that the "experts" predicted would squeak into the playoffs ... a team that has suffered more injuries than any other team in the league ... and a team with only one superstar. Add what he did leading the East squad over the West (like that really matters), and you get yourself a Coach of the Year.

Why Brown, iFroggy? Let's try to be more thorough around here. :)

Anyone else have a choice? I'm sure you do, don't be shy.

Lets not. :)

Pretty much for the same reasons Jersey Devil said.

Well, right now at this point, I'll go with Rick Adelman of the Sacramento Kings as N.B.A. Coach of the Year, because I remember right before the season started, I read various news articles on how the tough West got even tougher and if there was one team to pick from last year's playoff teams in the Western Conference that wouldn't make it back to the playoffs this year it would be the Kings because of their lack of defense and the distraction of this being Chris Webber's free agent year.

But so far Adelman has them playing defense (their currently 11th in points allowed. They were better earlier on in the year, but they were dead last in team defense last year) and so far at least he's prevent the team from being overwhelmed by C-Webb's free agent status and all that comes with it and the Kings are still one of the better teams in the Western Conference, despite the mini-slide of late so I'm sticking with Adelman, if you made me vote now.
