TOM Thibodeau of the Chicago Bulls has been named National Basketball Association coach of the year after his first season in charge, the league said on Sunday.
Having spent three years working as assistant coach to Doc Rivers with the Boston Celtics, Thibodeau moved to Chicago where he guided the Bulls to a league-best record of 62-20.
Thibodeau becomes the fourth Chicago head coach to win the award, following Johnny "Red" Kerr (1967), Dick Motta (1971) and Phil Jackson (1996).
Thibodeau totaled 475 points, including 76 first-place votes, from a panel of 119 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. His 62 wins during the regular season tied the NBA record for a first-year head coach set by Paul Westphal of the Phoenix Suns in 1993.
