[Pugz]

Gregg Popovich has been named the 2011-12 NBA Coach of the Year.

Popovich was also Coach of the Year in 2003.

San Antonio had a 50-16 record this season and were tied with the Bulls for the best record in the NBA.

I would have given it to Thibs but I don't have a problem with Pop winning.

It's shocking this is only his 2nd COY honor.

It's shocking this is only his 2nd COY honor.

When you are so consistently good for as long as he and the Spurs have been, not really.

It's shocking this is only his 2nd COY honor.

Winning a bunch of games with a prime David Robinson and then a prime Tim Duncan isn't exactly the hardest thing to do in the NBA. While he has been a great coach and is one of the best ever, the Spurs win more games with David Robinson/Tim Duncan and no Pop than they do the other way around.

Going to the right person. I didn't think the Spurs would do this well, let alone top seed in the West. Congrats Pop.
