History of the award: At the end of the 1994 season, Commissioner Kirk Pavelich used statistical analysis to name a Coach of the Year. The formula used studied which owner had been most successful at choosing the most efficient lineup each week. After the '95 season, Pavelich called for the league’s members to vote for the fantasy owner who had displayed an uncanny ability at determining the most effective starting lineup over the course of the season. The honor has been voted on every year since. Starting in 1999, owners could vote for the Coach of the Year from their respective conference. This presented the possibility that two different owners could win the award in a given year. The point total is derived by allowing each of the owners to make first, second, and third place votes. First place votes receive six points, second place votes receive four points, and third place votes receive two points.
