Thunder's Daigneault named NBA Coach of the Year

Daigneault, in his fourth season as the Thunder's head coach, received the award for the first time, becoming the second Oklahoma City coach to win the honor after Scott Brooks in 2010. The 39-year-old American guided the Thunder to a 57-25 regular-season record and the top seeding in the Western Conference for the NBA playoffs. The Thunder became the youngest team, as measured by NBA playing time, to finish with the top record in a conference since the 1970-71 season, the NBA's first with Eastern and Western Conferences.
