How do you pronounce cot?

Excuse me, I'm curious about something that's been bothering me for a while. Can you please help me with the pronunciation of the word "cot"? I've heard it pronounced in different ways and I'm not sure which one is correct. Is it pronounced like "coat" without the "a" sound, or is there a different way to say it? I'd really appreciate your help with this. Thank you in advance!
