Hey bballfan44-- looks like I got the coach of the year right, and you called the final outcome right on the game.  You also did a decent job with the players who got honors.  It was a good game Saturday.  Caz got used to coming back from 13 down, but 20 turned out to be too much especially when BBC was perfect from the line down the home stretch.  It was a good season, and they both get post season bids.  The NEAC should be happy with both schools.

I think the season performance Caz put up took more than what BBC's season took.  Again, no offense to Show (who I believe won the award last year as well).  You are right that BBC had a record that's 3 games better than Caz.  I assume they played a difficult non conference schedule, and I know Caz did.  Still, BBC fared better against non conference foes.  They have the better record.  They did last year as well.  And I bet if I looked into it, they've had a better record for years.  They are a more established program. 

It took more for Caz to get to this point.  To me, that's the deal breaker. 

For the record. . .I think you're right that Show will win the award.  I just don't agree with the decision. 

well, again.  nothing against coach show, but I'd have to argue who's the better coach.  They are both very good.  And it takes more than luck to come back from 13 down, then from 8 down with 2 minutes to go, then be in a position where the luck actually can make a difference in the outcome. . .especially on the other teams home court, where you haven't won before.

It took some luck, but it also took a lot of effort and a win is a win.  Actually, that's 2 wins now.  I wish I could be there tomorrow.  I'll be surprised if either team gets a double digit victory.  It should be a good game.  Knowing how hard it is to beat a team 3 times in a season BBC will probably be the favorites, but that's ok.  Lets see them make it past Keystone for a 3rd time, and Caz avenge Berks and then we can talk.

Why the BBC coach for coach of the year?  I would think Coach Bowser @ Caz is the more logical choice when you consider the fact that Caz hadn't beaten BBC at all in the last few years, then manages to beat them twice while tying BBC as co league champs with a 10-4 record?  I'd call that a major breakthrough.  The 2 wins may have been by a combined 6 points, but they still count the same.  This is the first time in years Caz will finish .500 or better for the season; they've never had 10 conference wins before.  And if Caz wins this tournament I don't think there should be any discussion at all.  I'm not taking anything away from Coach Show-- he's a good coach running a good program.  It's just that I think he got out coached this year.
