Sorry I cannot see Sean Miller as #2 Figured it should be about even between CCC and Few.

Agreed on this. Not saying Miller is a bad coach but I think overall Zona underperformed their extremely high level of talent this year and was pretty inconsistent.

Congratulations to Chris Collins on this accomplishment! That was the main point of this thread. I'm just so thrilled to have a coach of his caliber at NU. And to the players that have bought in and put in all the effort to make this possible for him, thank you!

I know this is good news in the grand scheme of things, but in the moment there is a little disappointment. How the heck can the guy who took the poster child for bad basketball in the NCAAs to their first tourney (and win a game there plus come one awful call away from seriously scaring the likely national champs) not be considered the CotY?????

Next year, after getting to the Final Four (possibly winning), he should get it.

I don't think post season is considered for the award - otherwise they would have to wait until after the championship game to determine the coach of the year.

And immediatly afterward, Trahan and Goren will author an article detailing the wrongs done to Aaron Liberman by Collins and crew.

Gee could ya spare it?

Raising the dead should count for more.

I've always wondered why most of the sports don't consider the post season when granting these awards. If the objective of sports is to win championships then you'd think the postseason should be a factor in determining how good a coach you are.
