Big Ten All-Conference Awards
Homecoming 2019

Might have disqualified him?
Hawkins having to guard so many true big 5s out of his true position of a 4 that he did struggle against kept him off the All D team. Lately Dain has been taking on more of that role and had that been the case sooner I feel Hawkins would have easily been on the All D team. Coaches went at Hawkins one on one with the power bigs down low and were successful doing so.
Absolute joke
No way in hell any coach in the league would actually choose to have Tominaga or Perkins (?) over Coleman Hawkins if they could add one of them to their roster right now.
Ha, isn't that an argument against Underwood too then?

Hope Hawk finds himself on two All-Tourney teams to make up for it.
Coleman a snub IMO as he’s such a versatile asset on both ends of the floor.
I feel like his social media personality up to the PSU game biased people against him…fair or not.

I honestly think Coleman has more B1G wins the last 3 years than the rest of this list combined.
Do they release the coaches vote tallies?
I don't really get the logic of Buie but not TSJ as unanimous...

Depends on the fit
Except they didn't give it to Underwood when we won the conference or btt championship.
We all know why TSJ wasn't unanimous. We don't have to like it and I certainly don't but we know why not everyone voted him first team.
Painter should have gotten COTY by himself.
Dude went 17-3, which is tough to do even in a down B1G year.
He was expected to perform like the coach of the year, and he did just that.
If we had finished one game behind or tied Purdue (after beating them at least once in both scenarios) then BU should get the nod considering the turmoil he dealt with this season.
Create a different award for the “exceeded expectations” guy. Otherwise I’m gonna pay off all the media to project Illinois to finish last (since it’s all subjective anyway and even the computer models have wide variance pre-season) and then BU will get it every year.

I feel the same way .
Also feel that way about guys who share football coordinator titles
I predicted TSJ an non-consensus as well. Thought there could have even been an outside shot of him not being voted 1st team. Reason being that there would be voters who would leave him off entirely for the offcourt stuff, fair or not. For example, there's a reason why both Dug McDaniel and Kanye Clary both are MIA from all postseason honors lists despite having very competitive stats. Imagine a world where the both missed the games they did because of being injured instead of suspension/dismissal- they'd both have been at the very least all conference honorable mention (and likely higher). And there'd be other voters dropping him to say 2nd or 3rd team because they'd use the excuse that he didn't play the whole 20 games. Didn't see a possibility he'd be consensus media. TSJ probably was consensus 1st team for coaches though.

TSJ not getting a sniff on the Defensive teams is an absolute joke and also how does he not get unanimously picked and boobie did...........these are more popularity contests than based on merit.......also , Hoiberg should get coty instead of co-coach.....

Come on now. If you think "always having at least one awesome player" on your team equals easy coaching success.....I just don't know what to tell you.
Painter is an excellent coach. Just do a little research instead of a drive by dismissal.
