ESPN just handed the Magic proof of how much pressure is on Jamahl Mosely

The Jamahl Mosley Coach of the Year campaign is gaining preseason traction. This is equal parts expected, pretty cool, well-deserved…and a sign of how hot his seat will get if it’s not accurate.

ESPN asked a panel of its NBA insiders to fill out early ballots for every major award. The Orlando Magic head honcho didn’t just squeak out a victory in the Coach of the Year category. He won it running away. Here are the full results:

  1. Jamahl Mosley, Orlando Magic (48 points)
  2. Quin Snyder, Atlanta Hawks (24 points)
  3. Ime Udoka, Houston Rockets (22 points)
  4. Mike Brown, New York Knicks (21 points)
  5. Mitch Johnson, San Antonio Spurs (16 points)

This list typifies the vast majority of CoY discussions.
