[Tin Cup]

Maybe I can clear up some things on this showcase.

Any event which showcases top notch players from the 15th Region is well worth participating in...since it is about the players and not poor coaches. With that being said this event lacks organization. Coaches have coached a team there and never received info on the event the following two years and consistently emailed Jim McCallister for info. If the 15th didn't participate last year it wasn't due to not wanting to. Last year I saw probably the most talent in our region (I'm also counting Celena). As far as nominations it is the coaches responsibility to nominate, now if they don't receive ballots its hard to do. One poster was right when they said some coaches do not nominate any or turn their ballots in. So a coach is left to find what players they can. What school is in our region are we most likely to find a couple extra players to go play in Hazard--AC--therefore they tend to have more on it.

Also during this event basketball season has started...some bball coaches don't want their players playing for fear of injury. If there talented enough to make this team they are probably a contributor on the bball team.

The organizers of this event somewhat through it together at the last minute...they need to start and select the team at the region tournament, at least there you could get 8 coaches replies.

Girls named POY are done by the KY Volleyball Coaches Assc. They are the only ones to vote on this. Don't know the exact number now but there were only 4 members two years ago. You must be a KVCA to vote on POY and Coach of the Year. Not to take anything away from the POY and COY because all are very deserving and had outstanding careers.
