ACC COY has to be Buzz Williams or Brad Brownell. Both took squads that weren't highly thought of during the pre-season (or even after the OOC slate) and both won 10 ACC games.

I say Buzz, but I'm not surprised to see VT have a good season despite what they were projected to finish. They finished at the bottom of the league for the past few seasons, but they have been collecting some solid talent. It was only a matter of time before they finally put it all together.

Hearing that Brogdon & Brice Johnson are co-POY, and Larranga is COY. If so, it's absolutely bullshit. Brogdon has scored in double digits in every game but one, which was the season opener where he only played 21 minutes. Brice Johnson has scored less than double digits in 3 games.

How Larranga gets COY is baffling. They were loaded with seniors.

Those are some pretty odd complaints. Didn't Brice average like a double double? Who cares if he had two extra games of not scoring.

Where was Miami ranked to start the year? And picked to finish?

I don't get how that can be bullshit.

Miami was projected to finish 5th. They finished 3rd.
VT was projected to finish next to last. They finished 7th, with 2 wins over top 10 teams.

Brogdon won ACC POY. Brice Johnson wasn't even close. I guess a UNC troll needed a laugh.

They are never giving it to a coach whose team isn't even sniffing the tourney though.

Miami has turned into a legit FF contender and we're not even ranked to start the year. I think Laranenga is a very worthy choice

They almost did, Larranga won 24 to Buzz's 22.

Not for me. It's the ACC Tourney schedule. You can't see it?
I can now. It didn't show up earlier, so I clicked on where it said loading tweet, and it took me to twitter, where it said the account had been suspended.

All the twitter posts take a few seconds to load. That's all.

At least the vote was close. I definitely thought Buzz should have won but figured they'd give it to a team that finished higher because that's just what they usually do.

I do agree that I think that Buzz definitely should've won coach of the year. The team looked competitive most games and even upset some teams they had no business beating in my opinion. They are only going to get better next year if the trend continues. They will just make the ACC even more of a formidable conference.
