Chicago Bulls’ head coach Tom Thibodeau has been named the 2010-2011 NBA coach of the year.
The Chicago Tribune was the first to report Thibodeau would win the award.
The Bulls have announced a press conference for 3:30pm CT at the Berto Center in Chicago to formally make the announcement.
In his first year as a head coach Thibodeau guided the Bulls to a league-best 62-20 record. He had been an NBA assistant for 21 years before getting his first head coaching opportunity in Chicago.
Thibodeau is a defensive minded coach who helped lead to Bulls to their most successful season since Michael Jordan led the way in Chicago.
