    		None.

    The NBA Coach of the Year was first awarded in 1963. Red Auerbach was the recipient in 1965, however the trophy was not named in his honor until 1967.

    1964-65 - Red Auerbach, Boston
    1963-64 - Alex Hannum, San Francisco
    1962-63 - Harry Gallatin, St. Louis

    His coaching achievement is recognized annually with the awarding of the Red Auerbach Trophy to the league's Coach of the Year. Auerbach himself won the award only once, in 1965. The award was named in his honor in 1967.
