UNC fans are so salty about Pastner winning over Roy lol

Meh. No credit at all? Did they even watch?
I'll say in their favor that I'm really interested in what happens the next two seasons--he's got to follow this up with recruiting that fits the program and player development. But I think he will.

Congrats to Josh, Ben, and Coach! Well deserved. This can only help with recruiting too. Now let's go win 2-3 in Brooklyn.

A nice haul of post season honors for GT hoops. Like everything else with this team - far exceeded expectations. I am going to the opening round of the ACC tourney and I hope I have to drop some more money on the Wednesday night session too.

 

[ChasonBaller]

Wow how did Buzz only get 3 votes??

I think this is a separate award that probably has more Tobacco Road Mafia in it and Pastner still won!

 

[YlJacket]

Well CJP said he had a big bonus for coach of the year honors. Hope he also has a big bonus for winning the ACC tourney

 

[dtm1997]

I guess CJP's award has been noticed.

This. This is why CJP won.

Roy had a stacked, experienced roster that was expected to compete for top of the ACC.

Coach of the Year should go to the best job of coaching this year. You can make a case for about 3, maybe 4, more deserving than Roy for doing a better job of coaching in order to produce outsized results. CJP did the most with the "least" and did it while coming in with a questionable rep following his stint at Memphis and basically reinventing his coaching style.

I'd go
1. CJP
2. Buzz
3. Brey

But why did cjp deserve it over cpj as @gtpi suggested.

Roy should've won it.

I mean, for a coach as awful as Roy to not totally screw up a roster full o' All-Americans?

That right there took a herculean coaching effort. I salute you, Roy ... I got 1 finger raised towards you.

And hope he gets it at least every three years on average (don't want to be too greedy )
