Here’s Detroit Pistons veteran Tim Hardaway Jr. on why he believes JB Bickerstaff deserves to win the 2024-25 NBA Coach of the Year award.
(via Detroit Pistons):
“The way we play is his style and brand of basketball, and his attitude. He’s done an amazing job of giving guys that confidence, giving guys that ability to go out there and compete on both ends of the floor. No matter if you make a mistake here or there or multiple mistakes in a row, as long as you’re competing and moving on to the next play, that’s all he cares about. When you have a coach like that and a coach that obviously also communicates to each one of his players like he does – goes up to each one of them before practice, after practice, just to ask you how your day is going – that goes a long way. So we want to go to battle for him, we want to go to war for him, and I feel like that’s what makes him, I think, the Coach of the Year.”
