Florida State's Leonard Hamilton won the hearts of the voters when he received an overwhelming 55 votes (of a possible 76) on his way to ACC Coach of the Year.
Hamilton did a great job leading the Seminoles to a 23-8 finish including 10-6 in the ACC. His team has the first round bye at this week's tournament in Atlanta.
Al Skinner of Boston College and Dino Gaudio rounded out the top three in the voting. Roy Williams got just two votes. Coach Mike Krzyzewski received none!
All Coach K did was lead the Blue Devils to the No. 9 national ranking. He had road wins at Purdue and at Florida State. The Blue Devils also slammed Xavier in New Jersey. A 25-6 record (11-6) all without much of a low post presence gets you no votes from the media. He got the proverbial snub.
Roy Williams has his team No. 1 in the country and received just two votes.
At least Roy and Coach K will be jamming out in a guitar hero commercial here in a couple of weeks. I bet they get more for that than winning coach of the year.
