Big Ten All-Conference Awards
I definitely agree with Hoiberg. Painter not so much. He had pretty much the same team as he did last year with the same expectations. I think Underwood did a better job of holding the ship a float with all of the obstacles he had to face let alone putting this team together. What I am trying to say is that I don't agree with Painter getting co-coach. No way.
What does Brad have to do to win Coach of the year? Criminal he still hasn't
Painter??? I like the guy, but geez. Real tough coaching a team with the B1G POY and another first teamer. Give me an f'in break
Painter falls in line with how B10 has treated coaches with the preseason team in the league. You get COTY only if you dominate the B10. In fairness, Purdue did just that. Hoiberg is also a really good candidate. Preseason projected bottom half team finish in the Top 4. I would have preferred the B10 just give it to one of them, but I do think both have very good historic arguments as to why they should be COTY. Meanwhile I do agree that Brad had to do a lot more than either of them behind the scenes this season, but that's not how voting goes traditionally
Thought Coleman deserved to be on 2nd team somewhere….
Interesting. Agree with everyone except Perkins. He was one of my last picks for the honorable mentions. So far I'm nailing the Media selections through 2. Only had Braden and Walker swapped
Ding...Ding...Ding we have a winner at least from the coaches perspective and in my opinion, it is theirs that matter.
Just saw TSJ is not an All-American. Not surprised due to the off court stuff, but sad as he is deserving.
How does that not go to Diebler? OSU was a trainwreck. He takes over and wins 5 straight... Thought that was the easiest vote of the day outside of player of the year...
No coleman on the defensive team?
Now that one is surprising. He was definitely one of the best 5 defenders in the B10 this year

There should be Newcomer of the Year. Transfers are way more important in 2024 than freshmen. And obviously, Marcus should have won it.

Coleman not even voted third team by coaches lol. They had had enough.
Damn. Feel bad for Coleman. IMO, he was deserving of All B10 second team and probably All Defensive team. I think his defensive reputation took a hit because he had to play out of position as a 5 all year rather than a 4. But still, I don't know how so many can ignore the impact he's had on the B1G's second best team and the nation's 13th best. The analytics certainly don't ignore him.
Edit to add: he was top 20 in the conference in points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals. Not sure what else he needs to do.

When he is drafted this year, I am sure it won't even be a second thought for him.
