Steve Kerr named Coach of the Year

Bickerstaff got robbed

 

Yea there was no way around it but Terry Stotts deserved it also

 

A player who missed half a season would never win the MVP no matter how good he was right? Was Luke Walton also on the ballot?

 

Still Pop in my eyes, well pretty much its Pop every year.

Didn't Kerr miss about 1/3rd the season anyway?

 

Well deserved, hard to argue with 73 wins.

 

I feel like Walton and Kerr should be co-COYs.

Things could have gone very wrong when Kerr was out for the first 40 or so games. Instead, I think they went 39-4, with a 24-0 start. That's Walton's doing.

It's not like Kerr wasn't participating behind the scenes. Walton filled in nicely, but at the end of the day it's Kerr's culture, philosophy and system.

 

Luke Walton got robbed.

I would have voted for Brad Stevens.

 

I thought terry Stotts deserved it but it's not a travesty to give the coach of a 73 win team even if he missed part of that season

 

Billy Donovan only 1 point lop

 

This is so ridiculous. Determinism at its best. They proved by what they did with Walton as their HC that coaching was not the leading force of their success.

 

Better not give out the award before Wednesday's game. JB will out coach Kerr:grin:

 

If anything, I'd argue that this makes it an even stronger argument for Kerr.

Dude implemented such a solid system in such a short time that he was able to step away from the team and they still broke records

Of course, this is all dependent on how you view the Coach of the Year award. If it is anything like GM of the year, it has less to do with current year success and more to do with overall success in recent history. Hence why Morey never sniffs it.

 

Byron Scott deserved it

 

Stotts deserved it. Nobody expected the Blazers to make the playoffs much less be the 5th seed. Kerr missed half the damn season.

 

did Bickerstaff make the top 30??
