Sources: Phoenix Suns' Monty Williams voted top coach by coaches association for 2nd straight year

Phoenix Suns coach Monty Williams -- architect of the NBA's best regular-season team -- has been voted the National Basketball Coaches Association Coach of the Year for a second consecutive time, sources told ESPN.

The award, named in honor of the late NBCA executive director Michael H. Goldberg, is based on a vote of the league's 30 head coaches.

The league will announce the NBA's Coach of the Year winner later in the playoffs -- an award based upon media voting.

The Suns set a franchise record with a 64-18 regular-season record and will be the No.
