Phoenix Suns' Monty Williams voted top coach by coaches' association for 2nd straight year
Phoenix Suns coach Monty Williams -- architect of the NBA's best regular-season team -- has been voted the National Basketball Coaches Association Coach of the Year for a second consecutive time.
The award, named in honor of late NBCA executive director Michael H. Goldberg, is based on a vote of the league's 30 head coaches.
The league will announce the NBA's Coach of the Year winner later in the playoffs -- an award based upon media voting.
The Suns set a franchise record with a 64-18 regular-season record and will be the No. 1 seed in the NBA playoffs. Under Williams, Phoenix became the first team to exceed its victory total by at least 11 games in three successive years.
