Mark Daigneault of the Oklahoma City Thunder and J.B. Bickerstaff of the Detroit Pistons have been selected as the NBA’s Coaches of the Month for October and November, the league announced on December 2.
Daigneault captured the Western Conference award after guiding the defending champions to a 20-1 start. Oklahoma City, which finished last season with a league-best 68-14 record, again holds the NBA’s top mark through the first six weeks of play.
Bickerstaff earned the Eastern Conference honor by steering Detroit to a 16-4 record, the conference’s best and second only to the Thunder across the league.
Other Western Conference nominees included David Adelman (Nuggets), Mitch Johnson (Spurs), Jordan Ott (Suns) and Ime Udoka (Rockets). Eastern Conference nominees were Kenny Atkinson (Cavaliers), Mike Brown (Knicks), Jamahl Mosley (Magic), Darko Rajakovic (Raptors), Quin Snyder (Hawks) and Erik Spoelstra (Heat).
