[glidinghawk]

Steve Alford, Jim Boeheim, John Calipari, and Frank Martin are the four finalists for the 2010 Naismith Men’s College Coach of the Year, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced Friday.
The winner will be announced in early April.

Speaking of Boeheim, I like his wife. She has a nice touch at the line.

Good for him. He deserves all of the attention.

Calipari better not win this award. It would be a farce if he did

 

[Lionhawk]

My vote goes to Frank Martin from K-State.

Has accomplished more than expected in one of the top three conferences.

Congrats to Steve.

can we all agree to never post Steve Alford topics in the Hawkeye basketball forum again? Please.

If Alford wins it it would mean Iowa would have fired/pushed out two of the last four national coaches of the year inside of four years..and I don't disagree with either decision

Funny, they win these awards at New Mexico and Butler...not exactly Big Ten or Big East caliber squads. Nor are they BCS conference schools. Just saying...

Until one of these two actually win the COY award while head coach at a school in a BCS conference, I'd take it with a grain of salt.

I hope he wins it

And people say we aren't an attractive program.

Jim Boeheim has earned it.

AMEN BROTHER!!! That's a HUUUGe +1

 

[Thomzahawke]

He's getting his arse kicked right now. I say he because as we are all aware....if they win then He get's the credit so I'm going to give him the credit for the fact they're losing right now.

Alford making a case for being a terrible coach.

CBS switched over to the New Mexico game for a minute, and they missed two straight free throws, got the offensive rebound and missed a chip layup. Ah, that brings back memories. I'm glad to see Alford's legendary dead-on aim has worn off on his Lobos, too.

I think UNM was seeded a bit high in the tournament (or Washington too low). I think it also shows the difference between playing in the Mountain West and playing in one of the major conferences...

Alford and Noodles are still looking for their heads...They had no idea what to do with Washington today. UNM has been behind by 20 most of the day. This looked like Iowa/Texas...

I think Alford had better stick with the mid major circuit where he belongs...

Iowa was tied with Texas at half!
