Oklahoma City's Scott Brooks will coach the Western Conference at the All-Star Game later this month.

The Thunder's 101-87 win over Utah on Friday enabled Oklahoma City to clinch the conference's best record through games of February 15, giving Brooks the nod for the February 26 contest at the Amway Center in Orlando.

Brooks was the NBA's top coach for the 2009-10 season and has led the Thunder to back-to-back playoff appearances. He was also named coach of the month for December/January.

The coach of the Eastern Conference will be determined by the team with the best record after games played on February 15. Chicago enters Saturday's action with a two-game lead over Miami.
