He was predicted to win it last year I believe and didn't do the job early on which is why he didn't last year. This year though I think he was the best statistically and also was the reason why we won some games.

 

Congrats to you Dee Brown

Also won defensive player of the year award in the Big Ten and made the All Big Ten team with Deron and Luther.

I'm also hearing from another message board that Bruce Weber won the coach of the year award.

Truly deserving.

 

The numbers he put up in the final 4 or 5 games didn't hurt his cause any.

 

Hats off to Dee on an amazing season. He's been a blast to watch (and meet).

 

Work's far from over though shooter.

hey guys this was posted in the march madness forum already...thats the new place to go for college bball news this month!

why wouldnt weber win coach of the year, who else would you give it to?

He in fact did win it. I don't think anyone else would deserve it.

Eh, I figured it would be Luther.

Grier over Bracey? Damn.

i think Brown and Luther were the 2 best player combined out of any other 2 players combined in the college b ball

Go Dee!!!

No question Brown, Williams, and Head are the top 3-man-tandem in college hoops. Felton, McCants, and May come in a close 3rd.

great job Dee!!! I personally think Powell Jr. sohuld be on 3rd team but thats jsut be. a biast Illini fan
