    Is the award voted on by coaches or the media? Any theories as to why he hasn't won? I think York is overrated but he clearly is a better coach than Crowder or Timmy.

      Saying it a 2nd time doesn't make it less dumb

        I almost want to hear why he thinks this (prob just trolling, no one can be this stupid) but I'm not sure I can handle any more stupidity from him.

        The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

          Scratching my head here Drew!?!? You're inferring that Umile and Blasi are better coaches than York. Has Blasi ever beaten a York coached team? I don't think so, but if he has, certainly not when it mattered. And forget about head to head... how many times has a York team coughed up a 3 goal lead in a 2:00 span in the National Championship game? It takes a special kind of coach to accomplish that.

          Now... why the phk am I talking to a wall?

            I was agreeing with the point that it is ludicrous that York has never been chosen by listing some second/third tier (IMO) coaches who have won it.

                    Sure beats the year they postponed Winterfest because too much winter happened.

                      Yeah, too much snow can have the opposite effect on an event like this. This year people should just wear their Hawaiian shirts and leis!

                        I think BC should hang a Finnish flag in the rafters next year. And also add "Overrated" to York's retired jersey.

                            BC's pairwise problems clearly stem from their out of conference schedule. They scheduled about the toughest non con schedule they could and they also scheduled 2 more games than they had to. Scheduling a tough non con schedule is admirable, but Jerry may want to rethink this strategy next year.

                              I wouldn't say that. If York knew he was going to have as many defections as he did one has to believe he would have handled the situation differently.

                                BC non-conf schedule included Air Force, Colorado College, Holy Cross, Arizona State, and Ferris State. It wasn't really an overly difficult schedule, at least by past BC/BU standards.

                                Every team tries to schedule the max 34 games. BC got an extra 2 from the Ice Breaker this year. I don't see a correlation with the PairWise.
