BOSTON - Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens said he's not disappointed that he did not receive a vote from his peers in balloting for the annual National Basketball Coaches Association's Coach of the Year Award.
Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey won the Michael H. Goldberg award, as voted by the league's 30 coaches. Eight coaches in total received votes including Philadelphia's Brett Brown, Houston's Mike D'Antoni, Indiana's Nate McMillan, San Antonio's Gregg Popovich, Los Angeles Clippers' Doc Rivers, Utah's Quin Snyder, and Portland's Terry Stotts.
Stevens downplayed any outrage at his omission.
"The way that thing works is you get one vote.
