    I think that's his own jacked up abbreviation for MILWAUKEE. I could be wrong though.

    Rudy IS a candidate, in my opinion, but I would say he's an extreme darkhorse in this race.

    I'd say the best chance is either Nelson, Riley, Karl, Brown, or Adelman, who WON'T win it either, but I've gained a LOT of respect for him.

    My money's on Riley.

    Would he be considered if Miami gets swept? I thought he could be the one, but with the way they are getting blown out by Charlotte, I can't see it.

    With the flak Rudy's gotten over the iso, there's no way he'll win it. I'll bet Nelson gets it, unless they give him the GM award.

    I'm pretty sure that they voted before the playoffs started.

    Before the playoffs, I thought Riley had it locked up.

    After the start of the playoffs, I would give it to Don Nelson.

    Since the voters aren't supposed to include the postseason results in their voting, I guess I'll stick with Pat Riley as my pick for COTY.

    I was confused over whether it was for Milwaukee or that really pasty white guy on their team, I think his name might be Pope or something. I didn't think he in particular was playing too well though [​IMG]

    Thats just the way Popavich likes it. Very low-key.

    Not including the playoffs, I'd give it to Riley or Adelman, but I don't vote. Of course if you consider the playoffs then Silas(who I thought should have won it last year) is the runaway winner, his Hornets have picked apart the Heat like a ripe carcass.

    It's about that time of the year.
    IN fact, does anyone know when the votes come in? do they wait until playoffs are over?

    heres my list of contenders.

    RUdy T-
    Don Nelson
    George Karl
    DOC rivers
    Lenny Wilkens

    Last year, Doc Rivers won and Orlando barely missed the playoffs(SOUND FAMILIAR?)

    these are my biased picks, we'll see how the rest of the league feels about it.

    right on

    If Charlotte gives a strong showing in the 2nd round, I think Paul Silas will contend for COY too. I wouldn't necessarily vote for him, but I'm sure he'd be considered.

    I still feel Nellie will get it. He certainly is a viable candidate on his own, but the clincher will be the sentimental factor, since he had health problems this year.

    I'm pretty sure that voting on coach of the year is done before the playoffs started, so how Silas' success in the playoffs won't be a factor.
