Title: Big 12 Coach of the Year
Post by: pissclams on February 09, 2010, 01:05:20 PM
At this point in the season, I would have to say that no coach deserves it more than Turdgeon.  What say you goEMAW.com? 

My ballot:
First-  Turdgeon - doing the most with the least
Second- Martin - doing well
Third - Drew - doing the second most the the second least
Fourth- Ford - doing pretty well but not better than Turdartinew
Fifth-  Self - doing what was expected, hard to lose when you cheat/recruit the way his staff does, league officials working hard to secure the B12 a #1 seed

Turgeon is having a great year, especially considering that Roland got hurt, but in my completely biased opinion I really don't see how it doesn't go to Frank

Its Frank, by a lot. When you consider projections before the season had us outta the top few teams of the league (I believe KU,TX,MZ and OK all were picked ahead of us) to where we sit now, how can you make a case otherwise? Frank is the #1 coach in the league and I'd argue nationally also.

I think Frank will get it because of the attention he has already received.  Frank has become somewhat a bit of a buzz word of a coach in the national media lately.  I think that carries him to the top vote.

No way The Rug deserves it.   He has that team operating at about 75% of what their output could be.

Yeah, Frank might have a shot if we finish 12-4 and alone in 2nd.

And Turg is a master if everyone believes he is working with no talent.  Roland was a significant loss, but he's got plenty of players to work with.

If we're 12-4 and alone in 2nd, KU probably wins the Big 12 by 3 games.  KU is just so much better than everyone else.

I guess it depends on how your define coach of the year.  If it's whose team who win the conference then its a no brainer.

If we're 12-4 and alone in 2nd, KU probably wins the Big 12 by 3 games.  KU is just so much better than everyone else.

No doubt, Self will likely win it if KU goes undefeated in the league.  But if Kansas would stubble in one game, finishing first when they were the unanimous pres-season pick compared to taking the team that was picked fourth and getting 2nd may garner enough votes for Frank to win it.

agree on both counts.  if ku wins what is considered the most difficult league in big 12 history (which is debatable) and does so undefeated or with just one loss, he should prolly get it.  almost could have the same turg take but with drew.

Call me a homer if you want, but Martin should really be the frontrunner at this point.  I'd like to see either him or Drew get it.  Self may be a great coach, but he's doing what he was expected to do.  To me, COY is about exceeding expectations, and no one has done that more than Frank.

Any coach who goes undefeated in the conference SHOULD win COTY.  

If KU loses a game, and if Mizzou finishes 3rd or better, I'd go with Anderson.....it's about how well you did versus what you were predicted to do.

Its all relative.

We were predicted to finish 4th, and we'll likely finish 2nd.  That's impressive and good.

But this is one the toughest years ever for the Big 12, and KU has a shot to go undefeated.  Even though they were preseason #1 and picked to win the league, by most people going undefeated and winning this league will likely trump what Martin does this year.  And if Drew manages to get Baylor to the Top 4 of the league, that may even trump a 2nd place finish by us.  

I understand your point, but if we go 12-4 and finish 2nd all by ourselves, its far from a slam dunk for Frank to be COY.

we may have some inexperience in a few spots but we aren't young.  we start a 5th year SR, SR, JR, 4th year JR, and a 23 year old JR in Sutton.  Samuels is a 2.5 year soph.  Then we bring in a bunch of freshman after that.

KU started three freshman and a sophomore last season on their way to a Big 12 title.  You think anyone will actually be impressed if K-State finishes 2nd?  

yes

Why?  K-State clearly has the 2nd-best collection of talent in the North.  You guys should expect to beat Colorado, Iowa State, and Nebraska twice.

1st you are talking about finishing 2nd in the conference not the division

2nd lots of people are impressed at not only the collection of talent but turning that talent into winning.

3rd finishing 1st with the most talent doesn't impress anyone ???

So you're saying that a guy who takes an unranked, young team that was expected to finish 5-6 in the B12 to being top 10 and looking at a 2-3 seed doesn't deserve COY?

we are anything but 'young' and we were exected to finish 3rd or 4th according to the coaches preseason poll

We're fifth in the conference in average class per minute.  So we're kind of the teenagers of Big 12 basketball teams.

we may have some inexperience in a few spots but we aren't young.  we start a 5th year SR, SR, JR, 4th year JR, and a 23 year old JR in Sutton.  Samuels is a 2.5 year soph.  Then we bring in a bunch of freshman after that.

Didn't say we were young.  Just kind of average.

We've gotten some very good minutes out of most of our freshman this year.  Had frank not coached em up, that's the difference between where we are now and losing those close games we've played and being an unranked bubble team.  Yes we have experience in the starting lineup, but not on our bench and the depth has made us better.

Hey Ben, on the other board you said KSU was the 3rd or 4th best team in the Big 12. Which teams are better than KSU besides KU?
