Past NBA Coach of the Year Winners

NBA Coach of the Year Betting Trends

Since its inception, the award has been given to 41 different coaches, and no coach has won the award in consecutive seasons.

Gregg Popovich, Don Nelson and Pat Riley have each won the award three times while Hubie Brown, Mike Brown, Mike Budenholzer, Mike D’Antoni, Bill Finch, Cotton Fitzsimmons, Gene Shue and Tom Thibodeau have each won it twice.

Johnny Kerr is the only coach to win the award with a losing record (33-48 with the Chicago Bulls in the 66-67 season) due to leading the team to the playoffs in their first year in the league.

Doc Rivers is the only coach to win the award without reaching the playoffs as the 1999-2000 Orlando Magic went 41-41.

2025-26 NBA Coach of the Year Prediction: Quin Snyder, Atlanta Hawks (+800)

Quin Snyder has never won the NBA Coach of the Year award, but he finished top 10 in the voting four times during the past five seasons including a 2nd place finish while coaching the Utah Jazz in 2018.

The Atlanta Hawks went 40-42 last season, and they could make major strides with a healthy Jalen Johnson and the additions of Kristaps Porzingis & Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

The 2025 Hawks bear a striking resemblance to an Indiana Pacers team that took the NBA by storm in 2024. Both teams are led an offensive savant who can score and create scoring opportunities (Tyrese Haliburton/Trae Young).

Both teams have a versatile forward co-star who can fill the stat sheet (Pascal Siakam/Jalen Johnson). Both teams have elite rim protectors who can shoot from long distance (Myles Turner/Kristaps Porzingis).

The landscape of the Eastern Conference could leave the door open for the Hawks to earn homecourt advantage on the 1st round as the Pacers and Boston Celtics are both dealing with key injuries.

Snyder is well respected in NBA circles as other coaches always bring up his name as one of the best coaches in the league. Voters could lean in his direction in a close vote considering he’s never won the award.
