Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau has been named Coach of the Year for the 2010-11 season.

The official announcement will be made later today, a momentous honor for the first-year head coach. Anchored by stellar team defense and the play of Derrick Rose, Thibodeau guided the Bulls to a league-best 62-20 record (despite losing Joakim Noah for months), and home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.
