It is time to get rid of the Coach of the Year award in the NBA. If you win, it basically means you will be fired the next season. Look at Carlisle, Scott, Avery Johnson, and Brown.

What is the point of this award? If it acknowledges the coach who got his team to overachieve that season, why would we expect the same results the next year? Wouldn't we expect regression in many cases?

How often does the COY winner make sense looking back 5 years later?

COY in most cases seems to lead to being a victim of your own success.
