referring to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame’s Coach of the Year award, rather than a specific coach.

However, I think you might be referring to Larry Brown, who was nicknamed “The Naismith Coach” due to his induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a coach in 2002.

If you’re referring to another coach, please provide more context or information, and I’ll do my best to assist you.

Some notable coaches who have won the Naismith College Coach of the Year award include:

– John Wooden (UCLA)

– Mike Krzyzewski (Duke)

– Dean Smith (North Carolina)

– Jim Boeheim (Syracuse)

– Geno Auriemma (UConn women’s basketball)

 

Please let me know if you have any specific questions about these coaches or the Naismith award.
