Kidd, Stotts named Coaches of the Month for March

The Milwaukee Bucks' Jason Kidd and the Portland Trail Blazers' Terry Stotts have been named Coaches of the Month for March in their respective conferences, the league announced Monday.

Kidd led Milwaukee to a 14-4 month that included a 7-2 mark at the Bradley Center. The Bucks sit fifth in the East after beginning the month just 10th in the conference, and looked poised to capture their second postseason berth in the last three seasons.

Portland went 13-3 in March under Stotts, including a 6-1 record away from the Moda Center. The Blazers rank eighth in the Western Conference, and are currently in the midst of a six-game winning streak.

It's the fourth Coach of the Month honor of Stotts' career, and Kidd's third.
