National COY

Collen deserves mention. Didn’t they lose some players after Kim left? I remember reading that they were toast. She has the playing at a high level right now.

I think she has done a great job righting the ship and getting them playing at a high level but they did retain Nalyssa Smith, Egbo, Bickle. Lewis was added before Kim left (All SEC performer who averaged 17 PPG). Baylor doesnt lack talent by any means but they do not have the depth unfortunately so things could get chippy in a hurry in the NCAAT if Egbo or someone else gets into foul trouble.

Chrislyn Carr (former TTU player) transferred out after the coaching change, she would have been a very nice addition with Smith and Egbo inside. Rumors had it that Christianna Carr was heading there also before the coaching change. But the lack of depth really isnt Collen's fault, it is kind of an unfortunate string of events that can happen during coaching changes.

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

I would vote for a law requiring Kim to be the designated acceptor of all awards.

If you can't get that passed, maybe shoot for one that requires her at least to be present at all awards. She can accept the award or toss her jacket if she doesn't receive it.

. . .The coaching across WBB this year has been excellent and there are probably 5 or 6 coaches with legitimate NCOY cases. It comes down to splitting hairs. . .

I absolutely agree. I think any of the first three listed would be deserving. Finley won SEC coach of the year over Mulkey. I dunno if the panels for national COY have voted yet, but if not that could sway them away from Kim.

Dawn won SEC COY

Durn -- I saw that Finley had won it somewhere (I wonder about an off-brand award?). My bad.

ETA -- Finley was named SEC COY by USA Today.
