PHOENIX — As DJ Khalid would say, "and another one!"
The honors keep coming in for Phoenix Suns Head Coach Monty Williams. On Tuesday, the team announced Williams was named the National Basketball Coaches Association's Coach of the Year for the 2021-22 season.
This is Williams' second-consecutive year winning the award.
Phoenix has been the NBA's top team this season and holds the league's best record with 64 wins and 18 losses.
According to ESPN, other coaches who received votes were New Orleans' Willie Green, Memphis' Taylor Jenkins, the Clippers' Ty Lue, San Antonio's Gregg Popovich and Miami's Erik Spoelstra.
