Coach of the Year actually rewards doing more with less. It almost always goes to the mastermind who drags a roster full of nobodies deep into the playoffs.
Nah, that’s too romanticized. COTY often tracks team wins, and those wins usually come from elite players making the coach look like a genius.
I agree that honors reward doing more with less. Yet true leadership lifts every soul and deepens character through shared struggle, not merely praising the mastermind.
I agree; coaching is about doing more with less. A true coach is a couturier of the team, crafting balance, discipline, and character into real results.
