National Coach of the Year…

It's truly laughable. The Gators roared onto the national stage.

 

I’ll remember this when I don’t click their links.

 

It’s like the best picture award goes quite often to a movie that cost say $30 million to make but only took in $7 million at the USA and worldwide box office. On the flip side, a movie like Endgame makes over a billion at the USA box office alone but is only nominated for a special effects award. Now I am not saying that box office results should be the sole criterion for naming the best picture but it should carry a lot of weight. Correspondently, wait till all games are finished to name COY.

 

My sense is that this was because of the perceived scandal swirling around him early this season.

 

COY was just voted a little over a week ago. If the accusations were a factor, that's a shame. I'm wondering if voters feel he's too young and wanted to reward the old guard, which is also a shame. Golden, imo, did the best coaching job. In the justice category, though. Here's how the top four teams were seeded for the tourney and their final rankings:

Seed rank.........AP final rank
1. Auburn...........1. Florida
2. Duke..............2. Houston
3. Houston..........3. Duke
4. Florida............4. Auburn

 

He hit a homerun during the talent competition and I do believe his answer to the philosophical question was as sound as any candidate. Where I think he lost it was in the swimsuit competition.



Yikes! He must have been too distracted with the team to realize he was shopping in the woman's section...

 

Pitino was also awarded the Naismith coach of the year. I don’t understand why. He took a moribund program that had no one that could make an outside shot, that also was a terrible free-throw shooting team, and they only went 31-5 for the season, winning the Big East by three games and the Big East tournament. Why the hell did he get those awards? Don’t make no sense.

 

The dark cloud rumors about Golden might have been a factor. I would rather see Golden and his team repeat the Natty like Donovan did.

 

Big time joke. Had the most wins (including the Sec tournament) in the toughest conference (arguably ever) and won the national championship with one of the toughest draws ever after being predicted to finish sixth in the CONFERENCE and not in the preseason top 25. The stupidity of human beings never ceases to amaze.

 

Still pales in comparison to Goldens achievement IMO. And what’s really incredulous is he wasn’t in the TOP 8!

 

That’s our idiotic system (despite what they say): guilty until proven innocent. And sometimes even after proven innocent.

 

I doubt that the fake allegations against TG had anything to do with it. The votes likely were in before the NCAA tournament and, possibly, before the SEC tournament.

 

Like Golden said, “We got the natty baby!”

National Championship trophy >>>>>> a subjective individual award.

 

So, CTG didn't get a single vote?
This means he wasn’t even thought of as a good coach even though it was obvious 30 games in that he was doing a fantastic job.
Is the media voting in this? If yes, does UF have media reps included to vote? If yes, even UF's media reps suck arse then.
If the answer to all questions is no, then it's just à stupid award bearing no output in which team really did well through out the season.

 

He still got the last laugh. None of them won the Natty.

 

We should prize the trophies we rightfully earn, not ones bestowed by others.

 

ROARED!!

 

Eff em. He got the Natty in one the toughest tournaments in a long time.
