There are several quality options for Coach of the Year, but who do the numbers suggest is most worthy?
As the NBA season winds down, we begin to focus a little more on end-of-the-year awards. We already know that that's been the case for quite some time with the crazy MVP race, and even with the Defensive Player of the Year Award to a lesser extent.
At the beginning of the year, the favorites were Steve Kerr, Tyronn Lue, Gregg Popovich, Tom Thibodeau and Brad Stevens, in that order. According to Sports Interaction, these were the only five coaches with odds at 7-to-1 or better, led by Kerr at 3-to-1 to repeat from a year ago.
