AEEB Coach of the Year Award
The AEEB Coach of the Year Award is an annual basketball award that is given by the Spanish Basketball Coaches Association. It recognizes the best coach of the year in Spain.
The award was established in 1975, and the person recognized as the 'AEEB Coach of the Year' receives the AEEB Coach of the Year trophy, which is named after Antonio Díaz-Miguel. This award is considered the most important one for basketball coaches in Spain, since it is based on votes by other coaches. The top-tier level basketball league in Spain, the Liga ACB, also gives a coach of the year award, the ACB Best Coach award, which has been awarded since the 2007–08 season.
