A few weeks ago the coaches had voted Mark Daigneault as Coach of the Year. Now the coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder also received official recognition from the NBA, thanks to a regular season finished in first place in the Western Conference and a record of 57-25.
Daigneault has been on OKC’s bench since 2020 and has led the team to continuous improvement with 22, 24, 40 and 57 victories on the season respectively. The Thunder are also his first NBA team as head coach, as he had previously only coached in the G-League, 5 seasons with the Oklahoma Blue.
In voting for Coach of the Year, Daigneault won by a wide margin: he scored 473 points against the 158 of the second place, Jamahl Mosley, coach of Orlando. In third place was Chris Finch, coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves. https://twitter.com/NBAPR/status/1784714405457928277.
