Memphis, Tennessee, May 18, 2004 — Memphis Grizzlies President of Basketball Operations Jerry West was named the winner of the 2003-04 NBA Executive of the Year Award, Sporting News announced today.

West received 16˝ of 35 votes cast by fellow NBA executives, finishing ahead of Kevin McHale, Minnesota vice president of basketball operations/general manager, with five votes and Kevin O'Connor, senior vice president/basketball operations for the Utah Jazz, with three votes. The NBA Executive of the Year award is selected by NBA executives for Sporting News.

“This is not an individual award; it is an organizational award,” West said, “that certainly would not have been accomplished without a great deal of input from Dick Versace, Gary Colson, Tom Penn and our coaching staff. Special thanks go to Mike Heisley for giving me his trust and confidence. My family’s support of the major change in our lives is the ultimate reason that I made the move to Memphis. I share this award with Hubie Brown, for agreeing to come out of retirement and join me here in Memphis. Hubie’s tremendous insight in the teaching and coaching of basketball made it possible for the Memphis Grizzlies to win 50 games this season. His performance earned him the NBA Coach of the Year award, and helped us to win this award as well.”
