Coach of the year.
While its nice to see the SCAC improve (welcome Austin and look for Oglelthorpe to improve next year) I agree that Coach Cleanthes got hosed two years in a row. If you look at exceeding expectations as a prerequisite how does having the most improved D3 team in the NATION in 2006 not qualify you as coach of the year in the SCAC?
Being overlooked in 06 was ridiculous, then its compounded by another snub in 2007. Heck, in 2005 this team was terrible ( 11 wins and alot of losses) and somewhere late in 07 they are ranked 25th in the nation. All on Cleanthes' and his assistants recruits.
No one says life if fair but if Cleanthes can't get the vote than I am not sure anyone should.
Whats a guy got to do, go 50 and 0 and hope that's enough to beat out a team that goes 500.
Bottom line is you better win the SCAC tournament or it looks like you are going home. Lets prepare for next year and take care of business. All this other stuff seems pretty silly.
Debate all you want. Cleanthes deserves some recognition and should have gotten Coach of the Year in either 06 or 07.
