Honors

The NBA Development League Coach of the Year is an annual NBA Development League (D-League) award given since the 2006–07 season to the best head coach of the regular season. The league's head coaches determine the award by voting and it is usually presented to the honoree during the D-League playoffs. The winner receives the Dennis Johnson Trophy, which is named in honor of the late Hall of Famer Dennis Johnson, a star NBA guard and NBA D-League coach.[1][2]

In 2015–16, Sioux Falls Skyforce head coach Dan Craig was named the recipient of Coach of the Year after guiding the Skyforce to a 40–10 regular-season record, the best mark in league history.[2]
