THE MORNING BREW Border Showdown for Coach of the Year
The showdown between Missouri and Kansas may have ended for the final time last Saturday,but
the war isn't finished. The Jayhawks secured a share of the Big 12 title in the victory, but another battle continues to take place.
Kansas coach Bill Self and Missouri coach Frank Haith both have an opportunity to earn Big 12 Coach of the Year after their respective schools' seasons. The easy choice would be Bill Self. Not so fast. Here are some qualities that could decide this close race.
ADVERSITY
The term can be used for many situations, but both coaches experienced some adversity throughout the season.
On April 4, 2011, Missouri made a surprise decision to hire Frank Haith. Haith left Miami to become the newest leader of the Tigers. Most coaches in their first year tend to struggle. At Miami, Haith compiled a 129-101 record with a 43-69 record in conference play.
Tiger fans questioned the decision
while Jayhawk fans laughed at the hire. Well, Haith proved he deserved a shot with Missouri. In his first year, Haith has led Missouri to a 25-4 record with impressive performances against Kansas.
Don't forget that Missouri lost a key member of its team earlier in the season. Laurence Bowers, a 2011 Big 12 All-Defensive Team, pick tore his ACL. The Tigers immediately lost 11.6 points per game. Haith never budged and now the Tigers will most likely finish second, barring a collapse.
Now, Bill Self isn't in his first year at Kansas, but he also lost key players. Brady Morningstar, Tyreel Reed and Mario
Little all graduated. Josh Selby, Marcus and Markieff Morris left for the NBA. Self had to rely on a recruiting class to replace those stars.
That didn't happen. Freshmen Ben McLemore, Jamari Traylor and Braeden Anderson were ruled ineligible for the 2011-2012 season. With few players on the bench, Self relied on his starters and marched through the season. While Haith suffered with the loss of Bowers Self had a tougher hill to climb with a slim bench.
WINNING
With the win against Oklahoma State, Kansas now has its eighth-straight Big 12 conference title. Yes, that is monumental, but people forget that the Jayhawks were picked to win the title this year.
Texas A&M and Kansas were picked to tie for first in the Big 12. While the Aggies faltered, the Jayhawks maintained focus with Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson leading the way. That may hurt Bill Self in the decision., since Missouri doesn't have players like Taylor or Robinson.
Missouri was picked to finish fourth. One coach gave Missouri a first-place vote, but overall, no one saw the Tigers competing for the title. Missouri might finish second in the Big 12 and Haith did this without a National Player of the Year candidate. Also, a victory against Kansas might help his case to win.
WINNER
Both coaches deserve recognition, but Bill Self edges out Frank Haith for Big 12 Coach of the Year. Kansas was expected to win, but Self coached his best season here at Kansas. But don't be surprised if people choose Frank Haith for the tremendous job he did at Missouri and its second-place finish.
