When Gregg Popovich retires, we'll look back at his career and accomplishments. And we'll wonder why he didn't win NBA Coach of the Year more often. He's this season's honoree, and he won in 2003... and he probably deserved several other trophies.
Not that he'd want them.
This season, Coach Pop took a team that was knocked out in the first round of the 2011 playoffs and gave up George Hill - a key backcourt sub - into a compressed season that was supposed to make life super-difficult for veteran teams...
And led them to a 50-16 record, tying the Chicago Bulls for tops in the NBA.
Tom Thibodeau of the Bulls - last season's coach of the year - placed second in the voting, while Indiana's Frank Vogel was third.
