Napili bilang best head coach ang Filipino-American na si Erik Spoelstra ng Miami Heat sa ginawang survey ng mga leagues’s general manager.
Inilabas ng National Basketball Association (NBA) ang listahan ng mga napasama sa nasabing survey ngayong 2022-2023 season.
Nanguna si Spoelstra, 51, at pumangalawa lamang ang NBA defending champion na si Steve Kerr ng Golden State Warriors.
Sinundan naman ito nina Gregg Popovich ng San Antonio Spurs at Monty Williams ng Phoenix Suns.
Pumang-lima naman sa puwesto sa survey si Los Angeles Clippers coah Tyronne Lue.
Bagamat, sa tatlong taong sunod-sunod na napili bilang head coach si Spoelstra, hindi pa ito nagagawaran bilang NBA’s Coach of the Year.
Ito ay sa kabila na nabigyan na niya ng kampeonato ang team ng dalawang beses at nitong lamang nakaraang season ay muntik na silang umabot sa NBA Finals.
