There were six names I would classify as finalists for the three spots on my actual ballot: Van Gundy, Cleveland's Brown, Miami rookie Erik Spoelstra and the inseparable West triumvirate of Denver's George Karl, Portland's Nate McMillan and Houston's Rick Adelman.
In the end?
I'm going with Van Gundy.

StM has done an excellent job this year. This leads to the fan question as to this year's best coach.
For the record, I do not think the Stan will win. Mike Brown would be my vote. StM would be second on my ballot, if I had a ballot.
