This is a pretty stupid rule.
Whoever is coaching the team on the night they play should get credit for the wins, it is pretty simple.
When the real coach comes back from illness, injury or whatever then they get credit for whenever they coach.
It makes no sense for a coach to win Coach of the Month and his official record is 0-0. Smarten up NBA.
NBA reaffirms that Steve Kerr is coach of record for GSW. Luke Walton eligible for Coach of the Month, however. pic.twitter.com/AzJJVZfJWP
