Sacramento is in the NBA playoffs after 16 years, the biggest credit for the Kings' great comeback goes to coach Mike Brown, so the decision of the National Basketball Coaches Association (NBCA) was easy.
Brown is the best coach in the NBA for this season, according to well-known ESPN journalist Adrian Vojnarovski.
The best coach is chosen by the league's 30 head coaches, and Brown's win ended the two-year winning streak of Phoenix's Monty Williams.
Sacramento will play against the champion Golden State Warriors at the start of the playoffs.
