Finishing second is clearly superior to winning the league by 2 games?

So, just give COY to every conference regular season champion then?

In short, yeah, Haith got screwed for COTY, but who gives a shit?
I doubt he does. |

Yeah, when you finished second with 7 scholarship players and one of your best inside guys hurt for the season and with a new coach. And beat the conference winners and damn near beat them twice.

I agree, I doubt Haith gives a **** but to put the season in context, KU won the conference by 1 overtime point. Hardly a dominant performance but winner nonetheless.

And were picked out of the gate to win the conference. Self did what was expected and barely. That to me does not make coach of the year. Coach of the Year, again imo, **** your link bullshit, should go to a coach that exceeded expectations in a large way.

That's life as a major college basketball team. Highly recruited guys stepped up thier game as they matured and playing time opened up. Shocking.

Ok then, by your logic, the runaway winner of COY should be Hoiburg. They were picked to finish 8th and finished T3(net of 5 spots). Missouri was picked to finish 4th and finished 2nd(net of 2 spots). Looks like ISU exceeded more expectations. |

1. Win the Big XII tournament 2. Be ranked in the top 5 3. Be competing for a #1 seed 4. Beat KU once and come within 1 point of sweeping them This was all BEFORE Bowers went down.After many questioned whether Mizzou would even make the tournament. But Haith was not COY material. |

Why does anybody care about the COY award anyway? It's even more forgettable than the POY award.
Arguments can be made for all three coaches, there is no one right answer. Heck, I could probably make an argument for Frank Martin too after losing Pullen and getting his team to the tournament with that group. |
