Hubie Brown Coach of the Year

Hubie Brown, who led the Grizzlies to a 50-win regular season and their
first playoff appearance, will receive the NBA's Coach of the Year award,
The Commercial Appeal has learned.

Brown, 70, beat out Utah coach Jerry Sloan, according to two league sources
with knowledge of the voting results. Brown will be presented with the award
Wednesday - a day before the Grizzlies play host to the San Antonio Spurs in
Game 3 of their playoff series at The Pyramid.

There is no denying that Hubie did something spectacular with that
franchise. But that won't appease the Jazz fans. Coach Sloan has done so
much for so long, and has never won the award. I think this year was his
best job yet. He just keeps getting upstaged. At some point he has to at
least get a career coaching award. I imagine there is a bust in the Hall
waiting for him.

Congrats to Hubie. Great job. Even Pop says he's deserving, and
he got it last year.

Had the Jazz gotten into the PO, Sloan would have been the one this year.

Why Wednesday? That's kind of strange, isn't it? Are they afraid he'll
get suspended too?

With all due respect to the accomplishments of Hubie this season, the
fact that Sloan kept his ragtag bunch of virtual nobodies in the PO
hunt until the final week is COY stuff. Sloan squeezed so much out of
those losers that even this Jazz-hater gives him props.

It's too bad the Grizz are going to get swept in the playoffs. Baby
steps, though, I guess. This is a good building block for next year...

Ha ha, hey, there is still room on the Jazz bandwaggon. All aboard.

I agree. Hubie is a God and what he did this year was incredible BUT I must
also point out that Jerry West really deserves a lot of credit for putting
that much talent together. That team was one of the deepest teams in the
league. I think Sloan did more with what he had but if Sloan is gonna lose
out, then I'm glad Hubie was the one to win.
