Dwane Casey of the Toronto Raptors has been voted Coach of the Year by the National Basketball Coaches Association.

This past season, Casey coached the Raptors to a 59-win season, where they claimed the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference and finished top-five in both offense and defense, according to CBS Sports.

Runners up for the award were the only other seven to get votes in their name: Philadelphia’s Brett Brown, Houston’s Mike D’Antoni, Indiana’s Nate McMillan, San Antonio’s Gregg Popovich, Utah’s Quin Snyder, Portland’s Terry Stotts and the Los Angeles Clippers’ Doc Rivers.

Casey will receive the honor at the NBA Awards in June.
