It’s the second time this season that Daigneault has won the Western Conference award.

He has traded it back and forth with Rockets head coach Ime Udoka, with Udoka claiming it for October/November and January while Daigneault earned it in December and February.

Daigneault’s Thunder were 11-2 in February, further cementing their hold on the top seed in the West.

They currently have a 10.5-game lead on the No. 2 Lakers.

As for Bickerstaff, his Pistons continue to be one of the NBA’s best stories, having just completed a 9-3 February.

Although Detroit is still just sixth in the East, the team is only one game back of the Bucks for a top-four seed in the East and has a five-game cushion on Miami in the race for the conference’s last guaranteed playoff spot.

Kenny Atkinson (Cavaliers) and Joe Mazzulla (Celtics) were the other nominees in the East, while Chauncey Billups (Trail Blazers), Steve Kerr (Warriors), Michael Malone (Nuggets), and JJ Redick (Lakers) were nominated in the West, per the NBA.
