context_page_description: The Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Basketball Coach of the Year is a basketball award given to head coaches in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The award is granted to the head coach voted to be the most successful that season by members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association, and since the 2012–13 season has also been awarded in separate voting by the league's coaches. The award was first given following the 1953–54 season, the first year of the conference's existence, to Everett Case of NC State. The first winner of the coaches' award was Jim Larrañaga of Miami in 2013.
  Dean Smith of North Carolina has won the most awards with eight. Thirteen other coaches have won the award more than once. Five former ACC Coaches of the Year have been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as coaches; Mike Krzyzewski of Duke and Roy Williams of North Carolina are the only two active coaches who are already members.
  Fourteen coaches have won the award in the same season that they have also won a National Coach of the Year award; of those, only Krzyzewski and Smith have achieved the feat three times.
