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 Michael H. Goldberg 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]
