Coach Casey among the contenders for COTY

[TheSamMitchell]

Casey said he doesn't want it. Don't know if he as joking or not.

[niQ]

nba coty is the kiss of death.

Yes. Was going to say that... So if he wins, he might get fired a season or 2 later ... hmmm..

[deeps6x]

No he isn't.

I agree. If he wins it will be as much of a F-up as when Mitchell won. I don't even want him back next year, unless Kyle insists on it.


Bring him back as the D coach. Get a real head coach.

[fredericklove]

Maybe next year if he's still here.

[OvertimeNO]

But seriously, I hope he doesn't win. We probably have a Top-2 all time offence (suck it, Jordan-Era Bulls), but because Casey is such an awful coach, we're only Top-10 for one measly season.

[Patman]

I don't think he should or will win, but he's definitely a candidate.

Casey has become like the DeMar of coaching. He's out-performing his salary, but his glaring weaknesses can be maddening.

PS It's an absolute travesty that Sloan has never won this award.

hes worthy but he shouldn't get it.

I'd go with Thibs.

[grumpwalter]

hes worthy but he shouldn't get it.

I'd go with Thibs.

what about Stotts?

[Lazy]

He should win it.

He's the best coach we've ever had.

[JWiLL02]

hes worthy but he shouldn't get it.

I'd go with Thibs.

what about Stotts?

He's worthy too, despite their drop off recently.

a candidate as well, no doubt. my pick is sitll thibs. after losing rose all year, then the bulls trading deng, you'd think it was gonna be a year of tanking. but thibs and noah made it very clear in interviews this team doesn't tank and has played harder and better each game. the game last weekend vs miami shows the fight this team has.

[BackseatBoss]

He deserves the consideration, but he definitely doesn't deserve to win it. Hornacek should get it even if Suns miss the playoffs. They were thought of as the second worst team in the league after the 76ers at the start of the season.

[Ackshun]

I think the award goes to Popovich. They have won 7 in a row, and are poised to finish the season strong. They have managed to stay atop a stacked Western Conference.

The guy is a hall of famer.

If there was a most improved coach award , I would consider Casey. I still think he is striving due to his assistants and Kyle Lowry.
