Who gets your vote for Coach of the year? - Lopes87 - 03-08-2021 11:34 AM I'll rank my top 3 1- Bryce Drew took a 13-17 team from the year prior and won the WAC with a 15-6 record. 2- Chris Jans never allowed his squad to go belly up and kept pushing through a season where there were multiple times they could have taken the easy way multiple times. 3- Mark Madsen took a team that that wasn't thought of much of anything and won the WAC. Although UVU and Seattle U have the same overall record (11-10) this year and UVU didn't win more games than last year (11). All three programs are trending in the right direction.

For a first year WAC coach, Drew guided GCU to it first Co-Championship. An impressive start to his GCU career. However, given where Madsen's Wolverine team was ranked in the pre-season and only being in his second season at UVU, with one returning starter, finishing as Co-Champions is also very impressive. Drew has vastly more experience as a head coach than Madsen, so maybe looking at it in that manners, I would select Mark Madsen. Just my opinion.

And as the #1 seed in the WAC tournament GCU is #1 where as UVU is #1A. We will see. Who know? Maybe Lew Hill gets it? His team had a winning record and was undefeated in WAC play when he passed on. RE: Who gets your vote for Coach of the year? - Lopes87 - 03-08-2021 12:33 PM Lew Hill? For real? With this reasoning Dan Majerle should have 4 WAC COY's RE: Who gets your vote for Coach of the year? - NeptunianEmp - 03-08-2021 12:44 PM (03-08-2021 12:33 PM)Lopes87 Wrote: Lew Hill? For real? They very well might do that to honor him. It has been a weird year after all. RE: Who gets your vote for Coach of the year? - Lopes87 - 03-08-2021 02:06 PM 8-4 (2-0) Lew Hill's passing is a sad story and one no one wishes on anyone but 2-0 in the WAC isn't enough to give anyone the award. RE: Who gets your vote for Coach of the year? - LopesUp - 03-08-2021 04:33 PM 1. Bryce Drew - First year coach starting in the most chaotic time we have all experienced. The way he was able to recruit with short notice in a time you could not take visits and only lose 6 games. I think it's his award to lose. 2. Chris Jans - What can you say about Chris Jans that you don't already know. I was most impressed with how he has handled the great amount of adversity he and his team have experienced with professionalism and grace. He never complained, never ducked a question or an interview, just kept pushing forward and got his team to the three seed. Shoot, I would not be mad if he won COY. 3. Mark Madsen - Finishing 1 game over 500 does not cut it for me. I don't see how one can make an argument he should win the COY. I get pre season picks and all, but that really means very little. He had a good season, but I don't think this is his year. RE: Who gets your vote for Coach of the year? - NMSUPistolPete - 03-09-2021 01:14 PM As I said, Lew Hill could get WAC Coach of the Year; one last showing of appreciation.

Agreed. Plus since coaches can't vote for themselves, it means interim coach Jay Steadman got to vote for his friend/mentor. Very classy indeed. |
