Message: [QUOTE="GamecockFam, post: 5319539, member: 10934"] I know this is an unpopular opinion on this board, sorry, but giving a COY to someone who led a team to a .500 record, no matter the context, feels like the equivalent of handing out participation trophies. Also, the volume of Valkyrie players who left for EuroBasket was completely in the control of the Valkyrie organization. It can easily be recontextualized as an oversight. So to answer your question about other coaches doing better in the same scenario, I would argue that they would have picked different rosters which would have circumvented that problem in the first place. Look I certainly understand the love for Coach Nakase, she looks like a winner, but let's not give her flowers before she earns them. If she is as good as we think, there will be plenty of other opportunities for her to win COY when she actually has a roster that is in the top of the league. [/QUOTE]
