(2018 Projections) Coach of the Year:

1. Brad Stevens (Boston Celtics)

2. Dwane Casey (Toronto Raptors)

3. Quin Snyder/Erik Spoelstra (Utah Jazz/Miami Heat)

Speaking of the Celtics.

Brad Stevens is a dangerous man, who literally looks like he never ages.

Therefore, take the award.

The Celtics have been incredibly impressive since Gordon Hayward’s unfortunate injury, although they just got pushed aside for the number one seed by the Toronto Raptors.

Regardless, they have a lot of potential for the future.

Speaking of the Raps, this may finally be the year for Dwayne Casey.

I was getting nervous that Toronto would blow it all up this past summer, including getting rid of Casey, Demar DeRozan, and Kyle Lowry.

As for Quin Snyder and Erik Spoelstra, I’m just impressed they can take their teams to the success they’ve had thus far, especially if both the Heat and the Jazz make the playoffs.
