It's the second time that Bill Laimbeer was honored as the WNBA's top coach, also winning it when he was in charge of Detroit in 2003.
Laimbeer is the fourth coach to win the award at least twice. Van Chancellor won it in the league's first three years. Mike Thibault was also honored three times and Dan Hughes twice.
The Liberty's coach received 23 votes from a national panel of 39 writers and broadcasters.
