Phoenix Suns coach Monty Williams has been voted as the National Basketball Coaches Association's Coach of the Year, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.
The league's 30 head coaches vote on the award, which was named in honor of late NBCA executive director, Michael Goldberg.
Williams resurrected the Suns' floundering franchise, leading Phoenix to a 51-21 regular-season record and the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference playoffs. Williams led the Suns to their first Pacific Division title since 2007, and they became the fifth team in league history to improve their win total by 15 or more games in successive seasons.
