On Friday, Long Island Nets coach Will Weaver was named NBA G League Coach of the Year and Trajan Langdon was named Executive of the Year. Weaver and Langdon are the first ever Long Island coach and executive to win the awards.
Weaver led the Nets to a 34-16 regular season record, tied with the Rio Grande Vipers, for the best regular season record in the G League this season and was the best record in the Eastern Conference.
The Nets clinched the Atlantic Division awarding them a first-round playoff bye. Long Island’s success landed them their first ever playoff berth and the number one seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs.
