Splitting this up with my pick in each:

North - Geno, Bluder, MM, Walz, Kieger
South - Meier, Moore, Mulkey, Schaeffer, Butler
West - Graves, Fortier, Rueck, Vanderveer, Roberts
 
Honestly, most of the big names are teams that were expected to be near the top.

UCONN was preseason 2. Oregon 3, OSU 8/9. L'ville 5/4, Marquette 19, Miami 25/24. Iowa 13/17, NC State 18,16, Mississippi State, Stanford, ND etc. were all ranked up there too.

I'd go with Fortier (Gonzaga) with runners up Moore (NC State), Butler (Clemson), Roberts (Utah). Moore gets some love cuz of who he lost and what he's done since that happened, but the others came from nowhere, especially Gonzaga.

is the vote for regular season only? If so then Katie Meier or Wes Moore

Did anyone else notice that little disclaimer on the bottom of the announcement?

"Players can play their way onto and off the list at any point in the 2018-19 season."

Seems as if they just edited the Naismith players announcement (poorly). :oops:

Wes Moore would be my pick for this year. If she can build on the progress she made this year at Clemson then I think Amanda Butler could easily win it next year. Most of the other coaches have too much talent on their teams to be deserving of the award.
 
I know where I am when I say this (and know what I've said in the past) but I'm somewhat surprised Kevin McGuff isn't at least a representative from the B1G for this. Not saying he should be national coach but I think he should be right there with B1G Coach of the Year, considering what he lost and what he brought (9 new faces) and was able to finish possibly tied for fourth in the league. I know OSU had a bout of consecutive losses and started league play 0-3, but they've turned it around and beat all MSU, Indiana, and Rutgers (when they were all ranked, maybe not as impressive anymore) and played Maryland close their first game at Maryland. I just think from where they stared (looked like a high school team) to where they are now is an impressive coaching job. I was expecting, and I'd imagine most of the B1G and nation, tOSU to finish at the bottom half of the league at the best.

I'm a bit surprised Lynne Roberts is on this late season list, considering how badly Utah faded in the second half of the conference schedule. Any other coaches on this list have a 6 game losing streak?

I'm leaning towards agreeing with several others in regards to Wes Moore. Continuing to win games throughout the season despite the terrible string of injuries was quite a feat.

GEno has won many times with stacked talent. But there’s something to be said of performing well when expected to. Tho yes the west has a bunch of notable names - fortier and rueck have also done great

I was shocked when he won in Stewie/Moriah/Morgan's senior year. Yeah, they were undefeated, but he had arguably the top three players in WCBB.

There are a few coaches I wouldn't mind seeing with this award. NC State is playing better than expected with all those injuries. Gonzaga is WAY better than expected. Same with Clemson. And I am impressed in the job Vic Schaffer has done after losing four starters at MSST. Yes, he still has McCowan, and they were ranked in the preseason top ten, but this season could've gone awry very easily.
 
Coach Jumper is chomping at the bits to coach the lady Vols. There is no doubt that he could right the ship. He lists his own credentials quite frequently and he has certainly convinced me. In fact I'n afraid he may be overqualified.

At the start of the season, Gary Blair pointed out that he and Vic had both lost 4 starters but said he wasn’t that sympathetic because “he got one of mine”.

Real question. :oops::oops:

Is 'Coach Jumper' a coach with real (or semi-real) credentials or just a fan who is delusional and wants to coach as a fantasy??
