NBA Coach of the Year: Sam Mitchell

SAM Mitchell, who guided the Toronto Raptors to their first division title, was named National Basketball Association (NBA) Coach of the Year overnight.

Mitchell defeated Jerry Sloan of the Utah Jazz by a healthy margin in voting for the award named for legendary NBA coach Red Auerbach.
Reasonable and popular choice I would've thought?

Yes - Mitchell has been a study in perseverence... for the last 2 years or so he has been hanging (or so it would seem) by his fingernails on to the job... Had to weather VC, Alonzo Mourning`s ultra-petulance, Skip "Get the #### out of here and go back to And-1" to my lou, Mike "I owe Kevin McHale half my contract in kickbacks" James... and various other ails... Very well deserved in my opinion... Liked him from his playing days as a non-nonsense, tough as nails, honest player... Seems to be the best kind of character to move on to a coach...

Word is that the Indiana Pacers will throw the book at him in an attempt to lure him to Pacer-land.
