Who is going to win Coach of the Year in the 2019-2020 Basketball Champions League?

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

The Basketball Champions League picked three coaches as the favorites, so far, to win the Coach of the Year award of the 2019-2020 edition of the competition. Last year the honor was award Antwerp Giants coach Roel Moors (now at the helm of Brose Bamberg) who led the team to its first Final Four appearance.

Per the Basketball Champions League:

Every year in the Basketball Champions League, the standard of coaching and depth of talent in the coaching pool increases significantly. As a result, the decision for who should win the award for Coach of the Year get’s tougher each time.

As with the MVP award, the winner often comes from a team that reaches the Final Four, so in recent seasons the achievement of Ludwigsburg (2018), and Antwerp (2019) reaching the Final Four from the first round of Qualifying, made the choice to award John Patrick and Roel Moors a little easier. This year we already know that the situation can’t be repeated, so the selection will be anything but cut and dried. Until we know the four teams that make it to the big show in May, it will be tough to speculate with any confidence but should any of the following three coaches steer their squad to the Final Four in spring, this is why I think they have to favorite to take the award…..
