And the consensus around the league is that Mike Brown was badly out-coached by Stan Van Gundy in the series.

  • Heinsohn recieves achievement award from NBA: The NBA Coaches Association announced today that legendary Celtics player and coach Tommy Heinsohn will receive the inaugural “Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award.” The award carries on the memory of Hall of Fame coach Chuck Daly. [Globe]

The Wolves will provide McHale with a list of candidates from whom to choose. [Twincities]
