Congrats to Coach White!
Having a great year with a veteran heavy, experienced team. I like Coach White, but next year is the year that will be a challenge, coaching-wise, as we're losing 4 seniors, and likely DRob and Egbunu's out. If we lose DRob, we're going to be pretty young next year, with Chorizo being our only senior. I'm looking forward to seeing it plays out and how White's teams will look going forward. White really likes long/tall PGs, unlike Billy who seemed to prefer the smaller PGs (Williams, Dupay, Roberson, Nelson, Shannon, Green, Walker, Hill, Chiozza (Calathes was the only one over 6'1" that I can remember (Orien Greene maybe?).
I think Greene was a shooting guard, no? Donovan loved the little guys. Maybe because he was little?
I was standing next to Donovan at a UF game. I'm not particularly tall. I'm 6'3. But Donovan was really small. He was in shorts and had massive cavs though. You know who else was built similar to that? URG, minus the massive calves.
Crazy he's getting all these accolades, according to some he doesn't even understand the basics of attacking a zone defense :rolleyes:
From Wiki RE-Greene:I think Greene was a shooting guard, no? Donovan loved the little guys. Maybe because he was little?
I was standing next to Donovan at a UF game. I'm not particularly tall. I'm 6'3. But Donovan was really small. He was in shorts and had massive calves though. You know who else was built similar to that? Travis McGriff. Relatively short but giant calves.
Some of those coaches should be eliminated because the school they coach at allow them to coach on cruise control (Kansas, loovlle, az, maybe more).
I'm not sold on the Big10ish this year and NWestern's only 10-7 right now in coference. Doesn't scream COY and they're really only a couple of games better this year than last. Collins has been there 4 years now and he's righting the ship, but it's the hype about them vying for a bid to the Dance that's got him on the list.Very well deserved. Who's the favorite ? Collins?
I was thinking collins might have a shot because its the first time in school history they'll make the tourney. That's the only really special thing i see on the list.But like you, I don't know much about the others. I'm biased towards white but I hope he gets a good look. We started the year unranked and have pretty dominated our conference and put a beatdown on Kentucky. I wouldn't sleep on white if you look at where we started the year.I'm not sold on the Big10ish this year and NWestern's only 10-7 right now in coference.

Arizona has been a surprise team, but the Pac12 is crap, so they've had a relatively easy road. Miller would be a popular pick though.
Huggins would also be a popular pick - he'd get the sympathy vote because one day this game is gonna kill that fat guy.
SMUs putting together a good year - I know nothing about them or their coach.
To finsish, I can root for him to win, but I can't pick White because this current team has enough talent and experience to be exactly where they're at. I don't know when they actually vote for COY, but if White can get us into the Elite 8 (without Egbunu), then I think he should be strongly considered.
