  Tom Izzo won COY.
  
  Kinda lame.
  
  However, the Coaches voted here. Not surprising they awarded the only Senior.
  
  Tom Izzo for COY is even more head scratching...

  From unranked to 1 seed?

  Agreed, this was one of his best coaching jobs.
• Azubuike24

  

  Kansas wasn't in the top 15 in most publications.
  
  Also, Izzo has the "POY" on his team, so shouldn't that diminish his coaching a bit?
  
  Bill Self is more deserving. Self's team is 1 game away from a title. Izzo got smashed by a 4-seed...
• Azubuike24

  

  I disagree. MSU had more talent than KU. Far more. Izzo had 2 things working for him.
  
  1. He was coming off a complete debacle. A year when they were ranked preseason top 10 and they totally sucked. That really put expectations low coming into this year.
  
  2. Derrick Nix, 4-star. Keith Appling, 4-star (MCDAA), Adreian Payne, 5-star (MCDAA), Branden Dawson, 5-star (MCDAA) and oh yes, like I mentioned, the NPOY (according to this publication).
  
  MSU did not overachieve nor did Izzo have an insanely great coaching year. He had a good year, yes, not great, not NCOY worthy.

  Izzo was not a bad choice for COY at all.

  Jim Christian from TCU taking over at OU.

  Myers Leonard going pro. Ouch for Groce. Dumb move IMO.

  I think most people expected that move. He's probably a lottery pick.
• Laley23

  

  Was Myers Leonard expected to return? He is lottery, why wouldn't he go?
• chicago510

  

  Is he a lottery pick only because he's 7'1? Reports are his family needed it, so all judgement is off.

  Because he's an athletic 7'1, yeah. I don't think he'll do much in the NBA, but someone will gamble on his potential.
• SportsAndLady

  

  Lotz, any opinions of Leonard going in the lottery at 7'1"?
• karen lotz

  

  Never heard of him. Withey is a volleyball player man.

  Hey I'm not saying I'd draft him or be a KU homer, hell I wouldn't take him 1st round if I were an NBA GM lol my original post said something about I saw at least one 2013 mock draft where he went like 28 overall. You apparently have a huge issue w/ that, i donno
• karen lotz

  

  I don't have an issue with it, its just my opinion that he isn't first round ever. I saw one where he goes undrafted.

  Okay lol that's fine? I don't care?
  
  I wasn't just like "HEY KAREN, I SAW WITHEY WENT FIRST ROUND IN A MOCK DRAFT, HE'LL GO THERE"
  
  I just said KU has 4 potential future 1st round picks on their team. One of them is Withey because he's 7 foot tall, shoots 82% from the FT line, and has decent game.
• karen lotz

  

  Ok you obviously have an issue with my opinion when you bring it up on some fucking bum from Illinois because he is 7 feet tall. Withey can block shots and is bad outside of that.

  Because, like a douche, you brought it up on the KU thread...stop putting this on me. I can be quite the douche on here sometimes, but you're just being a retarded fucking moron right now.
  
  I don't have an "issue" with your opinion, I just don't think you really know how "potential" works in the NBA draft. Kosta Fucking Koufas went first round. 68 7 footers have gone in the 1st round since 1990.

  Are you trying to compare Withey to Koufos?

  Yeah retard, I'm trying to compare a Euro 7 footer to a defensive 7 footer

  Someone is sensitive, no need to be disrespectful. Just seemed like you were trying to imply that Withey is anywhere near the player that Koufos is.

  I don't know how potential works in the NBA but you do?
  
  
  Koufas >>> Karch Kiraly Jr

  The Koufus point was that he was fucking terrible, but went mid-20's because he was 7 feet and had "potential"
  
  Same with Withey.
