2007 Coach of the Year

Isnt this a "internet voting" poll where everyone can vote?

I believe fans played a large role in determining the final five and have a 20% say in who wins. I know there is a committee involved beyond fans for the vote though.

Here. Right hand rail explains it.

uuuuhhh, Keith, it appears you and Pat are on the committee who decides? Also, this award seems skewed toward non performance type criteria. I can assure you a guy like Mike Swider is a finalist because of the  institution and  his reputation more than his performance in 2007. Although, if he had pulled off a conference championship and a playoff appearance I would think he would be a shoe in for this award.

I thought Mike Donnelly of Mulhenberg did a great job going undefeated during the season and making it through the first round, considering that the Mules were a 5-5 team in 2006....

The voters are allowed to consider whatever they want.

Also probably a finalist because of the fan voting, right?

Maybe, but the fan voting is only 20% of it and not many people knew about it. Swider jumped pretty considerably to get into the final 5. when i found out about it he was top 15 but not top 10. I can only guess the committee wanted him in there? I have no idea, you could be right but given the lack of exposure that doesn't seem too logical.
