Thunder's Mark Daigneault voted Coach of the Year by his peers

Mark Daigneault is going to rack up a lot of hardware this offseason.

That started Monday, when the Oklahoma City Thunder coach was voted the NBCA Coach of the Year Award — an award voted on by other NBA coaches.

"Congratulations to Mark Daigneault on leading a young group of talented players to such a successful season," said Pacers coach and NBCA President Rick Carlisle. He led the youngest team in NBA history to clinch a top playoff seed and has established himself as one of the top coaches in the game."

Daigneault is also a heavy favorite to win the NBA's Coach of the Year award, which is voted on by a pool of media members.
