2014 Coach of the Year

Recommended Posts

I know theres another topic about it, but that one focuses on Coach Clifford

 

Personally, I feel it shouldve gone to Hornacek. Everybody knows what Pop has been able to do in San Antonio, but Hornacek took that suns team to a completely different level.  To end up only one game out of the 8th seed in the west, after that Phoenix team was awful last year is pretty spectacular.

 

Obviously Thib in Chicago did amazing work with his superstar being injured again.

 

My personal rankings would've been

1) Hornacek

2)Thib

Tie at 3) Pop and Cliff

 

Like I said, what Pop's been doing is no surprise to anyone.

No doubt he deserves it with his team record and coaching again. I feel it should have gone to Hornacek though... If Suns made playoffs I think it would have. This is the reason why it should only be players/coaches/management voting and not sportswriters for these awards.

I have no problem giving Pop all the props in the world. I think he's consistently one of the best NBA coaches that we've seen. I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around giving a guy whose team was basically one shot away from being NBA Champs the COY award for getting them back there again. The Spurs are good and have played great this season. But really COY?  

 

I thought it should come down to Cliff and Hornacek. Both of those coaches have gotten their teams to overachieve. Of course I'm a Hornets homer, but taking the Bobcats to 43 wins while Big Al was out for 20 games (and it's become obvious how important he is to their success) is one hell of a coaching job.

Coach of the year is odd. Do you give it to the coach of the best team? Phil Jackson has 10 more championships than he does Coach of the Year awards. Do you give it to the most overachieving team? History shows it generally takes at least 50 wins to get it. Only once since 2000 has the winner had under 50 wins. A debate that is similar to that of MVP.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
