My view would be that the over achievers are Marc Jackson who did a great job along with Thibs (for obvious reasons) and Woodson who got NYK to play defense in a big way.

I think Popovich and yes Doc are great coaches but they didn't do anything special this year.

Hollins, McHale, and I guess Karl I would put in the next tier as they got a lot of bang for their buck with their teams, but just not quite as much as the top 3 I noted above.

Gregg Popovich, he of the 58-24 Spurs, who has yet to lose this postseason?

George Karl wins COY and Doc Rivers finishes 13th. Some more interesting ranks:

Top 10 Coach of the Yr voting: 1 Karl, 2 Spoelstra, 3 Woodson, 4 Popovich, 5 Vogel, 6 Hollins, 7 M.Jackson, 8 Thibs, 9 McHale, 10 Carlesimo

12.Vinny Del Negro


Was is accurate on your list of top coaches? Should Doc have finished ahead of Vinny?

  This might be the award where I'd be least able to guess the criteria based on the results. I don't think Spoelstra's a bad coach but I don't think he adds anything as a coach to make Miami better than they'd otherwise be. Also, I think Woodson's a decent coach but "well coached" didn't jump out at me when I saw the Knicks in the playoffs.

Would Pop or Jackson or even Doc allow there players to where all black to celebrate a "funeral"? I don't think so. That shows how much they respect Woodson and by doing so. Woodson should be in the lower 15

I don't understand Spoelstra coming in second.  Did his coaching job stand out in any way?

I'm also surprised that Marc Jackson finished as low as he did.

idk
i think it takes some coaching to keep a team focused thru a 27 game win streak.
