April 4, 200521 yr i think fratello is the weakest candidate on this entire board i think the strongest cases are mcmillan, d'antoni & skiles followed closely by stan van gundy & possibly eddie jordan what has happened in seattle and phoenix this year is nothing short of amazing and it has a lot to do with coaching both coaches exploiting the best out of their team, masking weaknesses and producing results that are near the tops of the league, when little success was expected skiles has done a great job in chicago, but he's loaded with high draft picks and young, talented players ... wasn't sure if he would be the right guy for a youthful bunch, but he has done a great job indeed van gundy has done very well ... but with shaq and wade some of it comes a little easier the wizards also play an exciting brand of ball and have overcome some injuries I think it comes down to mcmillan and d'antoni though ... to have the success they're having in the conference they play in is something and if you look at what they are doing it's very well coached be it the run & gun approach (that wasn't conventional to say the least) or the more euro style of the sonics, both teams took a chance, did something a little different and had it pay off in the toughest place to play
April 4, 200521 yr It's funny how Stan is leading the poll in votes but nobody has replied saying they voted for him.......... buncha homers, he doesn't deserve it even if the Heat win the championship.

April 4, 200521 yr for me, Coach of the Year is about doing 'more with less'. That's why I don't think Stan deserves it.

April 4, 200521 yr Gotta go with former Spartan Scott Skiles! He has brought the Bulls back from the dead....

April 12, 200521 yr Mike D'Antoni has done a great job in Phoenix this year. No coach that hasn't been on the bench all year long should be coach of the year. If Seattle had not faded a bit toward the end of the year, he would be a major candidate as well. Avery Johnson will be a coach of the year candidate really soon. I wish him well in Dallas.
