ime udoka or nurse, they had the most impact to their team.
nick nurse
Call it a homer take, but the Magic are 12-5 without any all-stars. Jamahl Mosley has organised the shit out of this team
Nurse I don't understand. They might have improved under him, but they still have the reigning MVP on their team, and it's not like they're running rampage over the league. Teams getting better without Harden isn't a surprise at this point.
As we speak it should be between Finch, Mosley, and Udoka.
?? They’re entire starting lineup and bench is composed of top 10 draft picks 😂 like I get what you’re saying but let’s not act like their players are 2nd round picks barely making training camp

The rockets are 8-7. Look at the schedule they have played so far. Udoka or nurse. Any other answer is just a pure homer answer.
The Rockets have played almost all of their games at home and are still winless on the road.
9 to 6. Not terrible. This team last year was a g league team.
Mosley is my pick right now
Shaka Smart easy
Malone
He won't but his name has never seriously been in contention, and it should. He doesn't get enough credit for building a winning team brought the Nuggets to the no 1 seed and/or playoffs and/or first time ever championship with a 41 pick from the draft who Malone coached to x2 MVP caliber leader and zero all stars/all defense/all anything on his team
Steve Kerr 😁
The Minnesota Timberwolves Chris Finch might deserve it thus far for dramatically exceeding expectations and seemingly making a very tough fit in Gobert work with their personnel, which a lot of people weren't expecting to see this year.
I don't know that Nick Nurse would win the COY award in the traditional sense of exceeding expectations more than any other coach, but I'd like to see him win it as a giant fuck-you to the basketball terrorist known as Doc Rivers.
That said, it's a long season, and a lot of things could be different in a couple of months.
Jamahl Mosely 💯
It's like 40 games too early to even begin to discuss this topic. This award really ends up being about final records vs expectations, and hot starts mean nothing. Rockets could very easily finish with 38 wins and Udoka's name wouldn't even come up in the conversation.
Sixers have been a 68%, 62%, and 66% WL% over the last 3 years - Nurse pretty much has to blow that mark away to win the award. Which seems highly unlikely. Harden may be more addition by subtraction than anything Nurse is doing.
The Rockets wont finish high enough for Udoka to be considered.
