Cavs Brown named Coach of the Year

The NBA named Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown the 2009 NBA Coach of the Year. Brown lead the Cavs to their best finish in franchise history with 66 wins and wrapped up the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. Coach Brown deserved to win this year, gracious as always Brown thanked his players and assistants for their hard work and commitment to their partnership. "This is a player's league and I feel really fortunate to be around this group of players because if they players did not want me to coach them then I would not be able to coach them.",said the 1st time award winner Brown. "I look at this as a partnership." With Lebron James as a partner it's no wonder Brown was so bountiful with his praise on the "players" during his pres conference. He seemed almost giddy describing what the players "allow" to happen on the court and how it impacts the success or failure of the team. Hey, whatever his methods are he should continue them because they have been highly successful this year and Lebron is playing at his best flying to the basket with authority and the intensity and hunger for the taste of a NBA championship. The fans of Cleveland are licking their chops in anticipation of a return trip to the Eastern Conference Finals and the NBA Finals and well and if Game 1 of the their first round match-up with Pistons is any indication. They will do just that.
