They don't like Stevens because he is way younger than them and coaching circles around them.

In other shocking news some NFL teams don't like the Patriots

I'm not mad that CBS didn't win it (honestly, there were many worthy candidates this year).

BUT... How the hell does Stevens not get one vote while Doc Rivers gets one???  ???

Good grief...

Sorry, but...

Why does Casey get such praise for updating their system to one that works in today's game.... after everyone else? What a great innovator - he started playing modern basketball. Please. He took a team that finished third in the east last year and bowed out of the playoffs and transformed them into a team that took more threes, finished first in the east and got swept.

What am I missing?

That NBA players, especially all-stars, are prideful people and often do not listen to their coaches when it comes to playing a different way for the team. Getting Lowry/DeRozen to move the rock is not nothing.

Also getting the bench full of rookies and first time rotation players to be an elite bench unit was also impressive.

Of course he then laid a massive egg and got swept, so he probably had the best year of his career and also proved that he's not a great coach. I did not like his game plan and adjustments against the Cavs.

Brings to mind Van Morrison song from his Hymns to the Silence Album:

“Professional Jealousy”

Stevens doesnt get a single vote from his peers for coach of the year

They don't like Stevens because he is way younger than them and coaching circles around them.

Younger and, on top of that, he's not an NBA guy. He never played in the league and never assisted for anyone else in the league before being handed the big job. Start there and add into it the (deserved) praise he's gotten, I can see how other coaches might think he hasn't paid his dues or something.

Regardless, his getting no votes is idiocy.

Hopefully this makes its way to the locker room and the players feel the same as we do.

There is clear bias and until today I’ve never even heard of this award, so I can’t really care that he didn’t win. Does the media vote for CotY? Maybe he has a better shot at it but after not winning with the unexpected best record in the East last season or winning more games this year with an oftentimes depleted roster, I think it’s going to take a mega-season to finally give it to him.

Think you nailed it: He's not one of us, he didn't go through the normal NBA coaching ranks.

(At least please give Brad some votes...)

I think this a bigger deal than coty..

Only coaches vote and none thought that BS did good job. Pop got votes cause the spurs didn't explode without KL but Stevens was supposed to get 2nd seed without Hayward and Irving missing 20 games?

I really don't think is homerism believing that BS was among the top5 coaches this season

Here’s some math for you: right now there are 26 coaches who didn’t vote for Brad Stevens sitting at home watching the NBA playoffs on TV.

Absolute joke that CBS did not get one vote for coach of the year.
