It would feel slimy...I'm surprised he hasn't been canned yet with the extortion scandal + escort scandal
How can a coach under a self-imposed post season ban get it?
That would be a disgrace to give Pitino any award.
Seth Greenberg won ACC COY twice. An 8-8 conf record and again with a 9-7 conf record. We had some big upsets both of those years. I don't see it happening unless we win out and impress in the conf tourney.
But I don't think Tony Bennett deserves it for a third year in a row. They've had some bad losses, and what they did the last two seasons was more impressive.

# | Buzzketball Central: ACC Remaining Regular Season and Projected ACC Tourney Bracket We just need UVA to play Michigan State to get knocked out of the tourney three years in a row. It's full proof.
The big winner was Travon McMillian, his three helmets sold for over 2,400 total. Damn.
Let us dream guys.
It's Larranaga's award to lose this year. I'd be quite surprised if Buzz doesn't win it next year though.
My wife wants to know what this is from since I laugh every time I see it. Can you fill me in?
Good thing our coach is a quarterback whisperer

# | Buzzketball Central: ACC Remaining Regular Season and Projected ACC Tourney Bracket It occurred to me other day that UVA could actually win it all this year. I'm not sure I wanna live in a world where UVA wins a Nattie in a sport I actually care about.
As far as the ACCT goes, who the hell knows this year. It has been nice seeing programs not named Duke or UNC have success the last few years. UVA excluded of course.

# | Recruiting and the Changing Role of Virginia Tech's Defensive End and Backer So...so....much awesome
Those ECU and Duke games really highlighted some bad tendencies in the defense. But....But.... would it have been as bad had the offense been converting their plays? Or is the counter argument the defense should should have gotten off the field.
Change the losses to Alabama St., Northwestern, and Notre Dame to wins, and then you have a shot. If this win out until ACCCG scenario goes through we have to be considered somewhat but it still wouldn't be enough. Those 3 games, losses to an awful team at home, a middling team at home, and a chance to beat a top 25 team on the road, hurt our chances the most.
I still hate the non-conference schedule argument the committee made that year while letting in a VCU team with a worse non-conference schedule than us. And for whoever is going to say it, just because they made the Final Four doesn't mean they had any business making the tournament.
While we didn't beat anyone other than UAB, our schedule wasn't entirely horrible. We played Iowa State, St Joes, WVU. Usually the rest of the schedule is made up of somewhat local teams after that anyway.
We're not a horrible efficiency team (around 80th on both offense and defense). I don't think this team passes the eye test however, and whether or not someone is a tournament team is completely subjective.
Up here? Do you currently live in Madison? My wife and I just moved here, from Blacksburg, in May.
P.S. I agree with you about Gard getting national COY.
correct above but Laborn doesn't want to be another horse in the stable he wants to be THE HORSE
Says who?
Buzz has made a lot of progress, but he needs to finish the job before the ACC COY comes his way.
The ACC is really tough, though, and he's come a long way already. Still, it's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll.
VT is definitely the surprise of the year, so far, and if we can take one of our next two, well, with a win or two in the ACC tourney, I would think that at the least, Buzz will be considered for COY. Beating Miami next Sat would be huge in that respect, but a tough row to hoe, as will be Pitt. It is wonderful, however, that we can even be discussing this topic this year. How cool is that?
Yeah, even if you add a few conference tourney wins this isn't a resume that gets you off the bubble.
Don't sweat it.
Welcome to TKP and please make sure to have a read through the community guidelines.
Regardless, our OOC schedule would ultimately be our downfall. Setting aside our neutral-site victory over UAB (24-5, Conference USA Regular Season champs), we simply didn't beat anyone good in November or December.
As we've seen in years past, that's too much for the committee to ignore.
Thanks for the set-up, but I decline to participate.
Got Green "Beamer" helmet. Well wife got it for my xmas gift. So Shhhhhhh
He's not going to get it and he probably shouldn't get it. I'm just talking about which coach did the best coaching job. I think Pitino's been great from a pure X and O's perspective. The way Louisville was defending Duke in the 2nd half of their last matchup was unbelievable.
