Doug Collins did a great job in Philadelphia with the 76ers, and Gregg Popovich has been great (as usual) with the San Antonio Spurs, and Scott Brooks kept the Thunder improving from 8th in the West to 4th. One could even give props to Erik Spoelstra for taking three big egoes (one big enough for two people), and fixing the team mid-season to finish up strong and now has his team one series away from the NBA Finals.
All those coaches, and a few others, deserve considerations for very successful seasons. However, Thibodeau's improvements and the Bulls' steady performance (and incline) all season long suggests that there is simply no other coach who's done better with the talent on his roster and gotten the performance on the court, other than Tom Thibodeau.
