re: SEC Basketball Coach of the Year

I don't think it's John Calipari. He has a dynasty over the SEC and all the talent wants to be at Kentucky. IMO Andy Kennedy has done a great job as well as Anderson.

Ask Ben Howland how easy it is to
manage talented egos as a coach. It may not be the same thing that other programs are dealing with, but the management of the hype/pressure and the egos is still coaching all the same. Let's also not forget that his team is likely going to set some historical defensive records as well. He's easily underrated for how good of a defensive coach he is and getting kids fresh off the AAU highlight circuit to buy into defense.

Either way Billy Kennedy or Andy Kennedy would be good choices as well.
