The recent announcement of Dick Edell Coach of the Year finalists has concentrated trader attention on Chris Bates, Brian Holman, and Bill Tierney, whose teams posted the strongest regular-season records and advanced furthest in the 2026 PLL playoffs. Philadelphia Waterdogs under Tierney finished 9-3 atop the East, Utah Archers led by Bates went 7-5 to top the West with the league’s best point differential, and Boston Cannons coached by Holman posted a 7-5 mark while reaching the Eastern Conference final. These comparable achievements in roster construction, defensive structure, and playoff resilience, alongside the coaches’ established pedigrees, have produced tightly clustered implied probabilities reflecting the wisdom of crowds on a competitive field with no dominant outlier.

In the event of a tie, this market will resolve according to the official winner as determined by PLL rules. If multiple winners are announced then this market will resolve to the coach whose listed last name comes first alphabetically.
If the 2026 PLL season is cancelled, postponed after September 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or there is otherwise no winner declared within that timeframe, this market will resolve to “Other”.
The resolution source for this market will be official information from the PLL; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
