As part of our ongoing SBNation.com NBA Awards, chronicling the important and wacky things that happened in the 2011 NBA season, let us turn to our newest award: the funniest NBA Coach Face of the Year. Some of the most entertaining moments of a sporting event happen when you look at the coaches’ reaction to a big play. In the NBA, this is especially true because there are so many plays that cause a coach to go crazy.
