SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Gregg Popovich is the NBA's Coach of the Year
after leading the San Antonio Spurs to 50 wins in the
lockout-shortened season and the No. 1 seed in the Western
Conference.

The announcement came Tuesday. Popovich also won the award in
2003 when San Antonio won its second of four championships, and he
might be headed for a fifth ring if the Spurs keep this up.

After a 12-9 start, the Spurs lost only seven more games the
rest of the season.

Popovich received 77 first-place votes. Chicago Bulls coach Tom
Thibodeau was second (27), Indiana coach Frank Vogel was third (7)
and Memphis coach Lionel Hollins was fourth (6). Boston's Doc
Rivers and Denver's George Karl each received a vote.
