G-League coaches and GMs were invited to vote to elect the best coach of the year in the NBA lobby. And the logic was respected since it is Lindsey Harding who was elected.
For her first season at the helm of the Stockton Kings, the former Duke player, where her jersey was retired, led the California development franchise to first place in the Western Conference, with the best record in the league (24 wins – 10 losses). As a result, the Kings received a bye from the first round of the playoffs.
At the Kings since 2019, Lindsey Harding cut her teeth within the NBA staff, as an assistant in charge of player development, a position she already held for the Sixers at the end of the 2018/19 season.
She became the first woman to win the “Dennis Johnson Trophy”, that of the best coach in the G-League.
The podium was completed by former Pacers assistant Tom Hankins (Indiana Mad Ants), and Kasib Powell (Sioux Falls Skyforce), coach of the Miami “reserve” team since 2021.
