The Coastal Athletic Association Men's Basketball Coach of the Year (formerly the Colonial Athletic Association Men's Basketball Coach of the Year) is a basketball award given to the most outstanding men's basketball head coach in the Coastal Athletic Association, as chosen by a panel of sports writers and broadcasters.

Tarrant and Bruiser Flint of Drexel have won the most awards with four, while six other coaches have won the award twice.
