Sacramento coach Mike Brown was unanimously chosen as the best coach in the NBA this season, it was announced today from that competition.

In the selection for the best, 53-year-old Brown received the most votes from a panel of specialized journalists, who all put him in first place.

Brown was previously named coach of the year by the National Basketball Coaches Association (NBCA).

Brown led Sacramento to the playoffs for the first time since 2006 with a 48-34 record this season.

He received the award for the best coach of the league for the second time, after the 2008/2009 season when he led Cleveland (66-16).

"Honors like this don't come around often and you have to appreciate them. I'm really grateful to be in Sacramento. The fans and the city have been fantastic," said Brown, who took over the Kings last May after six seasons as an assistant coach in Golden State.

In the selection for the best were Oklahoma coach Mark Dyno, who was second, and Joe Mazula from Boston.

The Kings have the seventh-best record in the league this season, lead in points per game, have the best road record in the Western Conference and won the division title for the first time since 2003.

Brown has four championship titles in the NBA and won all four as an assistant coach - the first in San Antonio under coach Gregg Popovich, and three in Golden State under Steve Kerr.

In the first round of the playoffs, Sacramento leads 2:0 against the current champion Golden State.
