Similar to Brad Stevens, Alvin Gentry should have received at least one vote for NBCA Coach of the Year Award

Dwayne Casey, who interestingly is rumored to be on the hot seat, was announced the recipient of the Michael H. Goldberg Coach of the Year Award yesterday. It is the only honor bestowed strictly by peers — just the Association’s thirty Head Coaches get to cast ballots.

Asides Casey, seven other coaches received votes including Brett Brown, Mike D’Antoni, Nate McMillan, Gregg Popovich, Doc Rivers, Quin Snyder and Terry Stotts. Brad Stevens is noticeable missing from the list — seriously, that’s one of the most ridiculous things ever, but we’re here to give support to Alvin Gentry.
