Here's an idea: give him a "best WCC coach ever award' and be done with it.

Then open up the coach of the year award to everyone that's not eligible for the "best WCC coach ever" award. I mean what a joke, what's the point? It's not even a competition at this point, why keep pretending it is? So disingenuous.

Haarms with defensive player of the year. Rest of the awards all to Gonzaga.

Good for Haarms. And good for BYU.

Barcello 1st team, Haarms+Averette 2nd team, Lohner Freshman Team

Is it strange that the DPOY isn't 1st team?

The Dark Knight

Disrespected just like Rudy. 🙂

My thoughts exactly

If not completely awol offensively for several conf games wouldve been on 1st

coug10278

3/2/21 11:18am

Still, if you are considered, "The BEST defensive player in the conference"...

The Dark Knight

3/2/21 11:19am

Not as strange as Haarms getting DPOY, imo.

SinkingQuffa

3/2/21 11:25am

Honestly for 7'3'' I thought he'd be more of an impact defensively than he is.

SoValleyCOUG

3/2/21 12:04pm

It looks like motivation has been an issue

icecougar

3/2/21 12:18pm

Strongly disagree.

We actually don't have to miss him next year. It will be interesting to see

TailgateU

He's gone.

I don’t know what games you are watching. You are wrong.

This post is a few weeks too old.

SinkingQuffa

3/2/21 1:26pm

Just like with TJ, we will miss him when he's gone. BYU never has rim protection

Ash

He's was the most sought after transfer last year. Maybe the hype was overblown.

As I always say, if our players were as polished as we would like they'd be

And why are there 10 first team players? 5 offensive & 5 defense?

ptcougr

3/2/21 1:57pm

Essentially everyone is a two way player in bball so doesn't work like fball

coug10278

3/2/21 2:42pm

My real question is why have 10 players on the all-WCC 1st team, rather than 5?

ptcougr

3/2/21 7:30pm

Literally they don't want representation from only one school

coug10278

3/2/21 8:07pm

Shows that offense is (almost) all that matters. A la shaq ranting about Gobert

SoBlueitHurts

3/3/21 8:25am

No. Not strange at all. Especially in basketball. Like gymnastics.

StalwartBraveTrue

Wow. Didn’t see anyone predict that.

There was a post a few days ago asking about it.

rivercitycoug

3/2/21 11:07am

It's amazing that he could do that without being known for getting blocks

The Dark Knight

3/2/21 11:09am

I think Pope and Burgess really helped him improve in that area

rivercitycoug

3/2/21 11:13am

They showed a graphic later that stated he had 5 career games with 5 blocks or

I was making a joke about the commentator for the game on Saturday

The Dark Knight

3/2/21 1:40pm

😂 One of my favorite comments from the broadcast. What exactly does it take to get known for blocking shots?

Should Few really get coach of the year?

BYU '80

3/2/21 1:03pm

Number one team in the nation for pretty much the whole season? And out of the

BYUHawk

Pope did it without amazing players and built the team as well

BYU '80

I think Pope has a solid argument too. And maybe that's the problem that some

It's NOT not a recruiting award. It certainly is part of it. Putting those

SinkingQuffa

3/2/21 7:02pm

It's Coach of the Year, not best program builder

slatecoug

3/2/21 2:43pm

So that's not a significant part of the coach's resume?

SinkingQuffa

3/2/21 7:22pm

Absolutely.

SinkingQuffa

I had the same thought for about a microsecond.

Interesting that Few wins Coach when he by far has the best talent every year.

Blue for Life

3/2/21 1:50pm

That's why Stoudamire got it last year

downtownchrisbrown

3/2/21 1:56pm

Like I said above, he's the one that built that and recruited the talent.

BYUHawk

3/2/21 2:06pm

With BYU losing so much from last year and not missing a beat, well didn’t

Don't see the point of giving the same guy the same award over and over.

Mitty

3/3/21 11:45am

If he’s the best coach this year is there any chance anyone else can

StalwartBraveTrue

3/3/21 11:56am

It's a moving target. It's sometimes relative to expectations, and sometimes there's fatigue from the same guy

SoBlueitHurts

3/3/21 12:06pm

Here's an idea: give him a "best WCC coach ever award' and be done with it.

Mitty

3/3/21 12:07pm

Or, similar to the heisman, best coach of the best team.

StalwartBraveTrue

3/3/21 12:09pm

Who has gotten the most out of their team? I love Pope, but Few is the best.

TailgateU

3/3/21 12:28pm

I don’t think there’s much argument that Few is the best. Based on track record

StalwartBraveTrue

3/3/21 12:39pm

I'm talking about this year. This is Few's best team ever.

TailgateU

3/3/21 1:21pm

Last year it should have been Pope for the same reason they gave it to Stoudamire: exceeding expectations.
