Gave it to Anthony Grant, because they ran through a schedule of mediocre mid majors and almost nearly sorta kinda came close to beating KU.
That may well be what kept him from getting it. Not at all fair or right, but there's no getting around that it's a "what have you done for me lately" type world.BearFan33 said:
Frustrating....If we had finished stronger I think Drew gets it for sure.
Yes it was.BUbackerinET said:
But wait, I thought the universal question was always the infamous: "body of work."
Only in the heads of our rivals.Timbear said:
The end of the season matters. Going 2-3 at the end mattered. Regardless of injuries, the team was tired and worn out, and couldn't finish strong. Drew paid the individual career price, whether or not he could have coached better, no one knows. In the last several years, Drew is known for end of season disappointments. He's a great guy and a conmitted Christian, which we all appreciate.
He still should have won over Grant. If you disagree, then you're just a Drew hater.Timbear said:

Guy Lewis won AP COY in 1983 with Phi Slama Jama. Most pundits said the only coaching he did that year was make sure the balls were properly inflated, then roll them out on to the court at the start of practice.EvilTroyAndAbed said:
Amazing that voters don't understand that without the Player of the Year (from Dayton), the Coach of the Year (from Dayton) won't be in the top 10 next year. Maybe you vote for another coach who doesn't have the Player of the Year on their team.
It's also easy for Dayton to finish strong. They didn't play anybody their final 10 games. If we go by this logic, Chris Beard should have won Coach of the Year at Arkansas-Little Rock for going undefeated in the Sun Belt.

The national media has hated and worked against Baylor since 2015, period.
Next question.
Given "body of work" is subjective and didn't finish strong is the new norm, then no one should be given any awards until March Madness has ended. COY should be given to Final Four Winner. That would definitely cover both "body of work" and put "finish strong" in the rearview mirror. Currently the final polls crown #1 team after winning Final Four. That being the case COY could also be awarded to Final Four Winner. If nothing else all the subjective BS would be eliminated.BUbackerinET said:

They will. Its coming...when they rack up a decade straight of consecutive conference championships, 3 natty's, numerous 1st team All-Americans, etc.historian said:
It's a shame that our MBB & FB coaches don't get that kind of recognition but Kim Mulkey has loads--and she has earned them. I'm still hopeful for Scott Drew. He certainly deserves it and I think he may get it eventually--especially if 2019-20 is not an outlier but the beginning of a new trend. Eventually, he will get us a Big 12 title and to the Final Four.
