National Basketball Coaches Association
The National Basketball Coaches Association (NBCA) is an American organization and union that represents coaches in the National Basketball Association. It was founded in the 1970s[clarification needed] and consists of all NBA head coaches, assistant coaches and alumni.[1]
The executive director for nearly four decades was Michael H. Goldberg, who died in 2017.[2]
It administers the league's NBA Coach of the Year Award, which dates back to 1962, and is voted on by a media panel of writers, reporters and broadcasters.
In 2009, it established the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award, in honor of the former Pistons, Magic, Nets, and Cavaliers coach.[3]
In 2017, it created the NBCA Coach of the Year Award, in honor of the Association's longtime executive director. The annual winner is selected by the 30 coaches in the NBA.[3]
