		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 Knickerbockers, Celtics, Warriors, Lakers, Royals/Kings, Pistons, Hawks, and Nationals/76ers).

		Milicic has played only one minute against the Nets, who are seeking their third straight trip to the NBA Finals, and probably will remain on the bench for the rest of the best-of-seven series unless one of the games is a blowout.
		The Detroit Free Press jokingly pushed him for the Rookie of the Year award, pointing out that the Pistons had a decidedly better record when he played.
