The Molten Coach of the Month award is a monthly award given out to the coach whose performance throughout the month was the best in the league.

The league announces the monthly winners during the first week of every month, and the winner receives a Gold Molten Basketball.

HOW IS THE WINNER CHOSEN?

At the end of every month, the League office selects nominees for Molten Player and Molten Coach of the Month and opens voting, inviting the fans to have their say on the winners as well as British Basketball experts. Here’s how it works.

FAN VOTING (40%)

Fans can vote for their winner from the list of nominees on the League’s social channels, with votes being counted across Facebook, Instagram, and X. How to vote will be detailed on each of the individual posts on those channels. The nominee with the most votes when voting closes will be the winner of the fan voting.

PANEL VOTING (60%)

A three-person panel of British basketball legends will have a vote each on the winners of the awards. The panellists don’t have to agree on their choices, and can vote individually, with each vote worth 20%. The panellists for the Men’s League as as follows:

Daniel Routledge (British Basketball historian/statistician and commentator)
Siobhan Prior (Former Women’s British Basketball player and commentator)
Azania Stewart (Former Women’s British Basketball player and commentator)

The player or coach with the most overall votes at the end of the voting period will be the winner of the monthly awards.
