How do you pick your prep Coach of the Year

I'd go with A.

If Billy Donovan takes Florida to the tournament this year after losing his entire team a season ago...and Roy Williams takes UNC to the final four..

who do you give coach of the year to?

 

Flip a coin. Or just give it to Coach A.
To me, exceeding expectations trumps overcoming the pressure of winning when you're expected to win.

 

You know, spirited, you should turn your keyboard to "mute, because I don't have anything intelligent to say."
Didn't you read this part of the initial post?
"I'm not picking who you pick necessarily. I'm more interested in any points of view or questions you may have that I didn't think of. For the record, I'm leaning toward Coach A."

 

Your newpapers...your job ... your decision... your responsibility.

Why are you asking for help (or validation?) from a bunch of people who know nothing except what you choose to tell us?

 

Don't pick a coach that fucked a player. Or maybe you should. Beats me.

 

It's simple. Find out who's team stepped up and battled, while working the hardest, never giving up and leaving it all on the field. Of the different leagues of the respective coaches, was any team in either league capable of winning on any given day?

You should also open it up for public discussion. Get the parents involved.

 

Pit both coaches against each other in a Steel Cage Match of Death. The winner is the Coach of the Year, and the loser, well, you know. Not to mention you have some great photos and you could even run a gamer from the match.

 

I think Mayfly's response actually sounds more feasible than PO's idea about getting the parents involved.

 

We play pin-the-tail on the jackass.

 

Wow..that's one of the most cynical reponses I've heard, Spnited. It's a journalism board and a journalism thread. Obviously the poster was torn and wanted to know if there was another way to look at it.

Don't want to help? Then don't respond.

 

Sorry, Alley.
If I found out one of my high school writers was here asking a bunch of strangers help him pick our coach of the year, I'd rip him a new one.

 

Are we all really a bunch of strangers? I actually tend to value the journalistic opinion of several people here, even if a disagree with them.
