3. Tom Thibodeau, Bulls: A strong case can be made that he belongs at the top of this list, but if he truly is the COY, let's see what Chicago does without its defensive ace, Joakim Noah.

That would be awesome if Thibodeau could get COY in his 1st year, he will only get it if the bulls win more then 55+ games. Sloan's probably got this one in the bag though.

i think thibs could win it...if the spurs win 60 games tho i think pops should win it...it's pretty amazing how well the spurs are operating with their relative age....it's just a well run team

The NBA LOVES rookie and second year coaches, for COTY.

I believe in giving COTY to someone who greatly improves their team from the previous year. The Bulls will likely have a higher seed in the playoffs this year, but if the Knicks make it, how can you not give it to D'Antoni?

I think a lot of the voters are embarrassed that Jerry Sloan got induction into the hall before he got the Auerbach COTY award. I think this is the year that they make that up to him. Unless the Jazz fall on their ass I expect him to get it.
