Mike D'Antoni of the Houston Rockets and Erik Spoelstra of the Miami Heat are the co-recipients of the inaugural Michael H. Goldberg NBCA Coach of the Year Award, the National Basketball Coaches Association announced Sunday.
The award is named for the longtime executive director of the NBCA who died earlier this year. It recognizes NBA head coaches who help guide their players to a higher level of performance on the court and shows outstanding service and dedication to the community off the court.
