During exit interviews, several Oklahoma City Thunder players spoke highly of head coach Mark Daigneault.
Deservingly so — the third-year coach was named a finalist for Coach of the Year as he helped led the Thunder to a 40-42 record and a postseason win. After being projected to be one of the worst teams in the league, the young Thunder were one of the biggest overachievers.
Daigneault was not present in exit interviews due to his wife Ashley Kerr — who is an assistant coach for OU women’s gymnastics — giving birth to their daughter that same day.
With that said though, Daigneault’s aura was felt as player after player spoke glowingly about his coaching. Let’s look at the best quotes regarding Daigneault.
