I got a text that showed a "best free throw percentage" award... hopefully my buddy photoshopped it or we've got some serious education to provide.

Wojo winked and said "Free throws matta" as he handed the award to Rowsey.

Giving the entire team the MVP award? That's so weak

Actually not. Wojo went through the roster at length detailing the contributions. I concur with the choice for this season. The affair was rather lengthy and Wojo was the most animated I've seen him in public speaking and he spoke quite a bit last night. Had a good line in saying that the team had a lot of offense and, with a smile, said "just enough defense".. That got a good chuckle from the crowd.

Father William Kelly Team Morale Award should have been Deon. He was almost always the most animated on the bench.

Madison Fant only hit the easy notes.

Frenns Liquor Depot · « **Reply #13 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:14:07 AM »

I saw DW in one of the pictures - I wish they gave him an award for the year. He was a big part of the spirit of the team.

Interesting that Haanif won the Best Defensive Player Award since he was basically benched late in the season in favor of more offense.

Arbitrary endpoints help your cause there since the 36 minute game is the first in that series. 10, 11, 13, 3, 15, 7 is how he closed out the season.

Not benched, but diminished role.

Sand knit it's over. I know you loved her. But she said yes. She's going to marry Luke. You have to let it go.

This a proper theory

I don't like that either, but on reflection, I have no idea who the MVP was this year.

Ordinarily, I would agree that it is weak to not name a team MVP. Not this past season. Any choice you make will be rebutted. Markus.... but what about the slow start and no-shows in conference? Jjj..... how do you have as an MVP somebody who gets a DNP-CD in a huge game MU wins? Sam....but what about the games where he scored little to none? Luke..... but Mr. Sand-knit is a jackass and it just isn't worth the trouble. Rowsey..... how many games was he a non-factor? Matt.... seriously? Haanif.... glued to the bench at the end. Katin.... too erratic. Duane.... too many games when he was a non-factor.

At the end of the day, there was not a single player who could be relied on every game. There was not a single player who made his teammates better. There was not a single player head and shoulders above his teammate.

I agree with your breakdown -- but there is no law requiring an MVP award at the banquet. Maybe just not do that one this year.

Diminished? Yes. Without good cause? No.

At least they let him attend. Steve Taylor was a no-show the year that he transferred, they left his name off of the program, and his name was never mentioned. IIRC, it hadn't even been announced that he was leaving yet. It was very strange.
