Phoenix Suns head coach Monty Williams was named Coach of the Year with 458 total points (81 first-place votes). Taylor Jenkins (Memphis Grizzlies) and Erik Spoelstra (Miami Heat) placed second and third, respectively.

Full results below:

Udoka helped the Celtics overcome a brutal start to the 2021-22 season. They were 23-24 three weeks into January when the energy began to shift. Boston finished the season 28-7 over its final 35 games and ended up with the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.

As nice as the Coach of the Year honor would've been, Udoka and the C's are focused on more important matters. They currently find themselves down 2-1 in their Eastern Conference Semifinals series vs. the Milwaukee Bucks. They'll look to even the series up Monday night.
