[QUOTE="aaeismacgychel, post: 2031960, member: 748794"] Yeah, either that or be so dominant there's no real other option. Weber won it in '05 (15-1 B10), Matta in '07 (15-1 B10), Izzo in '09 (15-3 B10), Ryan in '15 (16-2 B10). And I think Painter stands a very real chance this year as well. There's a couple others I'm probably forgetting, but point is, it is possible to win COTY by domination in a year you're already expected to have a great team. But yes, the award usually goes to the coach of a team that was expected to finish bottom half of the standings and instead finishes Top 4 [/QUOTE]
