The news sent shockwaves through social media, with many taking to Twitter to express their surprise and confusion. “JJ Redick as Coach of the Year? Did I miss something?” wrote one fan.
Another fan chimed in, “I mean, I love JJ Redick, but Coach of the Year? He’s only been retired for like 2 seconds!”
Redick, who played 15 seasons in the NBA, including stints with the Orlando Magic, Milwaukee Bucks, and Los Angeles Clippers, announced his retirement from basketball in 2021.

When reached for comment, Redick remained humble and gracious, saying, “I’m truly honored to receive this award, but I have to give credit to the entire coaching staff and players who worked tirelessly to make this happen.”
As the news continues to spread, fans and analysts alike are eagerly awaiting more information about Redick’s coaching career and what the future holds for this unexpected Coach of the Year.
