Mike Brown wins 2022-23 Coach of the Year Award
Mike Brown beats out finalists Mark Daigneault and Joe Mazzulla to become 1st recipient of the Red Auerbach Trophy
Mike Brown was announced Wednesday as the unanimous winner of the NBA’s Coach of the Year award, an easy call after his first season in Sacramento saw the Kings make the playoffs for the first time since 2006. All 100 voters from a panel of reporters and broadcasters had Brown atop their ballot.
Brown won the award for the second time, adding this trophy to the one he got after he and LeBron James led Cleveland to a 66-16 record in the 2008-09 season. The other finalists this season were Oklahoma City’s Mark Daigneault and Boston’s Joe Mazzulla.
