4th Woman to win the award (Pat, Tara, Muffet), and 5th WCBB coach. The 5th coach isn't mentioned in the article but, from doing the math, appears to be a male - hmmm (see 2012 winner in this list)...

I believe Jim Calhoun won this as well.

Congrats to her and well deserved. Some may chafe a bit at her "us against the world" mantra, and her success is partly due to sheer longevity (granted, she won the NIT once, 4 final 4's, won the Big East once and Big ten 6 times), but never the less, she has amassed a fantastic overall career record of accomplishments.

Well stated.
If Lon Kruger was good enough for this, C-Viv certainly is.

That's Lon Chaney. He was the lovechild of Lon Kruger and John Chaney.

You beat me to it. I was waiting for someone to say "that's Lon Chaney" so I could say didn't he coach at Temple? Probably funnier your way.

Are awards won or received? Just a nit I felt like picking.

I read the title of this thread really fast so I read it as Cviv won wooden leg coaching award.

Two things John Cheney and Lon Cheney's Wolfman have in common...they both want to kill The Squid!!

As for CViv...the only image I will ever recall of her is seeing her raise the roof after beating UConn. I can't remember if it was her first time doing so or if it was a BE Tourney win. I just thought it look funny for a coach to do that.

And I was always a big fan of Tasha Pointer.
