Erik Spoelstra voted top coach by NBA GMs, but Heat picked to fall to fifth in East

In the coaching section of the survey, Spoelstra received 55 percent of the votes, with Golden State coach Steve Kerr a distant second with 22 percent of the votes. It is the second consecutive year that Spoelstra topped that part of the survey.
