Great honor to be in the final 10 for COY. Greg Marshall is likely the favorite to win the award, especially if Wichita State goes into the tourney undefeated. But you could make an argument for any of the coaches on this list.

Cronin's been mentioned as being in the running for the conference COY in years past...nice to see him getting some national attention. Deserves a ton of credit

Yes it is. He's done a helluva job in so many ways and brought UC from the brink of being insignificant.

Couldn't agree more Jeff. We are lucky to have him.

He is finally getting the respect he deserves. He probably wont win the award but just being top 10 is a huge accomplishment. This has been a long time coming.
