Coach Pop vindicated for controversial successor decision as Mitch Johnson shines

Mitch Johnson has the second-best odds at winning Coach of the Year (+250), according to FanDuel. There's still a lot of season left, but that's a significant development for the guy replacing Gregg Popovich. That's no small task, and Coach Johnson has stepped up to the challenge admirably, leading the Spurs to one of the best records in the league more than 30 games in.

JB Bickerstaff sits in first place (+220), but he's only barely above San Antonio's leader after Detroit's last two games were losses to the Jazz (we know how dangerous they are) and the Clippers.
