You might want to add "Coach"
between “conference” and “of”.

At least you didn’t do this. It’s usually bad when the editor misses an “NFP” note, but this was spectacularly bad.

Nice to see Stan get recognized.
I thought for sure Mike Woodson would get it, but I guess their recent bumps (defeat against the Magic included) put Stan over the top. Not to mention all of the roster adjustments. Great job by the coach who looks most like Mario in the NBA.
Yeah, that's probably what put him over the top.
That and having the best record in the East after the first month helped, too.
