Actually, that is the only thing that matters when we are discussing the issue (or perception) of east coast bias.
16 teams in the Eastern time zone, 14 in Central-Mountain-Pacific. Hardly a huge split.
At any rate, this season overall is actually a hard one to make an east coast bias argument on. The only egregious "error" on the part of the voters in my view is Roy for Jack Adams. That was the media buying into a hype pick at the expense of two coaches that did more with less.
