Feels like Izzo took it from Shaka and gave it to Tang.

Has to affect Painter worse.
And the idea of Sampson as coach of the year makes me ill.

Meh.

Shaka won 2 Titles. Tang won 0.

Izzo could just as likely end their season.

I will be rooting for Nowell and Tang regardless.

Don't underestimate Nowell.
Is he Kansas St's point guard? 5'8" point guard beat Kentucky.  Very fun to watch. Kansas St. is now my adopted team for the tournament.

If you vote, it requires votes for the women's side as well.   I have no clue who actually deserves it on that side.  They're forcing an unqualified vote.  Good thing it's only 5%.

Anyone have suggestions on who to vote for on the women's side for player and coach?
