		The NBA Coach of the Year Award is awarded to either the best coach in the league or the coach that has made the most positive difference to a team.
		Additionally, The Sporting News awards an unofficial (but widely recognized) NBA Executive of the Year Award to the general manager who is adjudged to have done the best job for his franchise.
		In 1950, the NBA consolidated to eleven franchises, a process that continued until 1954, when the league reached its smallest size of eight franchises, all of which are still in the league (the Knicks, Celtics, Warriors, Lakers, Royals/Kings, Pistons, Hawks, and Nationals/76ers).

	SUNS: Mike D’Antoni Wins 2004-05 NBA Coach of the Year Award
		Coaches were awarded five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place vote and one point for each third-place vote received.
		D’Antoni, only the second Phoenix Suns coach to be honored as NBA Coach of the Year (Cotton Fitzsimmons, 1988-89), led the Suns’ explosive offense to a league-best 110.4 points per game, as they became the first team since the 1994-95 Orlando Magic to average over 110 points.
		This is the second NBA head coaching stint for D’Antoni, who served as head coach of the Denver Nuggets in the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season (14-36) and was the club’s director of player personnel in 1997-98.

	ESPN.com: NBA - Adelman deserves Coach of the Year award
		Pistons coach Rick Carlisle, meanwhile, is taking the extra step (some might even suggest it's unprecedented) and calling writers around the league to make sure some of his guys (Ben Wallace, Jerry Stackhouse, Corliss Williamson) don't get overlooked.
		It isn't often that the coach of the best team in the league walks off with the Coach of the Year hardware -- and that probably will be the case again as Eastern Conference wannabes New Jersey, Boston and Detroit all have worthy candidates who, seemingly, have done more with less.
		Coaches of the Year tend to be those who take a bad team and make it better, or a decent team and make it pretty good.

		Brown -- at 70, the oldest coach in the league -- had plenty to talk about Wednesday after winning the NBA Coach of the Year award for leading the Memphis Grizzlies to a team-record 50 wins and their first playoff berth.
		Brown said the award must be shared with owner Michael Heisley, the Grizzlies and especially West, whose call came after Brown was demoted by television executives who thought he was too old to connect with the NBA's younger viewers.
		Brown hadn't coached in the NBA since 1987 and was working in TV when he took over as Memphis' coach two weeks into last season, when the team won 28 games -- then a franchise record.
