I think Ime Udoka and Nick Nurse are the front-runners. Rocket’s been exceeding expectations and might actually get into playoffs. 76ers are also performing better after they dropped Harden.

What do you guys think?

    Call it a homer take, but the Magic are 12-5 without any all-stars. Jamahl Mosley has organised the shit out of this team

    Nurse I don’t understand. They might have improved under him, but they still have the reigning MVP on their team, and it’s not like they’re running rampage over the league. Teams getting better without Harden isn’t a surprise at this point.

    As we speak it should be between Finch, Mosley, and Udoka.

    Malone

    He won’t but his name has never seriously been in contention, and it should. He doesn’t get enough credit for building a winning team brought the Nuggets to the no 1 seed and/or playoffs and/or first time ever championship with a 41 pick from the draft who Malone coached to x2 MVP caliber leader and zero all stars/all defense/all anything on his team

    The Minnesota Timberwolves Chris Finch might deserve it thus far for dramatically exceeding expectations and seemingly making a very tough fit in Gobert work with their personnel, which a lot of people weren’t expecting to see this year.

    I don’t know that Nick Nurse would win the COY award in the traditional sense of exceeding expectations more than any other coach, but I’d like to see him win it as a giant fuck-you to the basketball terrorist known as Doc Rivers.

    That said, it’s a long season, and a lot of things could be different in a couple of months.
