Very good choice for COTY. Corey is a great guy and works hard at what he does. This award is not all about records, it's about getting the most out of what you have to work with. What Coach couldn't do a great job with better players? All of these other guys you are listing has some of the top players in the region and it's very easy to throw out a ball and get wins with the best players, Buckhorn doesn't have any of those but they still were able to get 20 wins. That is a big accomplishment for such a small school. This is because of the job that Coach Hoskins has done with his group of athletes. This is the reason he was chosen for this award. CONGRATS TO COACH COREY HOSKINS!

Very valid points. I agree that any coach who wins with the players he or she has without having to recruit them or have the family “move” for different reasons to play at that school should always be selected for coach of the year. Lots of the coaches mentioned with the exception of Hoskins and Coach Lee went out and got their players. It’s the same with player of the year. It’s all about points. I think people should consider all aspects of the game. Can they play defense,handle the ball, rebound, pass and make the players around them better? It’s nothing but a popularity contest and who can get 20-30 per game regardless if they can do anything else on the floor.
