Warriors' Luke Walton wins coach of month despite official 0-0 record

[RunSoHard]

Luke Walton has more NBA coach of the month awards than official wins.

The Golden State Warriors interim coach was named the top coach in the Western Conference for October and November on Tuesday after leading the team to a record 19-0 start in place of injured Steve Kerr.

While the NBA issued a statement earlier in the day reiterating that Kerr remains the head coach of record for Golden State, the league said Walton was eligible for the monthly award.

Kerr has been sidelined since training camp because of complications from offseason back surgery. There is no timeline for his return but the defending champion Warriors have hardly missed a beat under Walton.

I'm not sure which is more dumb... The fact that he isn't getting credit for these wins, or the fact that they gave coach of the month to a guy that has gone "0-0" lmao

Luke should be 19-0

 

[Panic!]

He's better than Kerr.

 

[BNC]

Lmao

 

[cavsfan817]

I'm pretty sure that anyone could jump into that job with their current system and go like 15-4 at least lol. Walton looks like a decent HC, but he's not better than Kerr

Walton is a future NBA head coach tho

 

[cavsfan817]

Walton is a future NBA head coach tho

Yeah no doubt about that, I was just simply saying that when the best young talent in the league and a great system are there it would be pretty easy to step in and just take over and do well. He will do well in the league
