1. Stevens
2. Carlisle
3. Quin
4. Pop
5. Spoelstra
That’s my Top-5 right now. I almost feel dirty not putting Pop in my top 3, considering we just had an almost 50-win season with the least-talented roster of any playoff team (except maaybe Miami), but his stubbornness and head-scratching lineup choices in critical moments put him at #4 on my list.
Brad Stevens is still number one for me. Best coach in the League imo and I think he will go down as an all-time great one before it’s all said and done. Carlisle is still a fantastic coach who just has literally no talent down in Dallas besides Dennis Smith Jr. And Quinn Snyder has been phenomenal all season long, but is really now just getting the credit he deserves. Spoelstra has been a really good coach the past 2 seasons since Lebron left and is making the most of that poorly constructed Miami Heat roster that also employs the team cancer that is Hassan Whiteside.
*Dwayne Casey will likely win COTY and deservedly so, as he’s a very good coach. But his lack of in-game adjustments, combined with the consistent choking of his teams, keeps him out of my top 5.
