Yes, Mr. Energy & Excitement is the Mens Basketball Coach of the Year.


Quote
This year’s national coach of the year has ties to Alabama.

Former Crimson Tide and current Dayton head coach Anthony Grant was named the Associated Press national coach of the year Tuesday.

Led by Grant, Dayton was 29-2 this season, 18-0 in Atlantic 10 conference play and was ranked No. 3 in the final AP poll.


Quote
In addition to Grant being named AP coach of the year, his star player — Obi Toppin — was selected as the AP national player of the year.



Of course, the Atlantic 10 ain’t the SEC. Also, their top player Obi Toppin was not even a big time recruit. The following programs offered him a scholarship: Fordham, UGA, Wyoming, Misses State, St. Bonaventure, etc. Let’s be honest, he was not developed by Anthony Grant, Toppin was hidden jewel and more power to Grant for signing him. Grant had 6 years at Alabama to show what he could do and he failed miserably. I have zero regrets that he was fired as our coach.




 Boom! Boom! Boom!

Good for him.  I wish him well.  I'm sure he did the best he could while he was here, and if it turned out that he was not the right man for the job then that is on the AD that hired him.

Like I said, the Atlantic 10 is not the SEC, and he played at Dayton so good for him. We see this in college all the time. A coach looks good at a 2nd tier program, but when he moves up to the Power 5 he looks lost or overmatched. I’m thinking of Butch Jones at UT as an example. Good point about the AD.

I don’t harbor any I’ll will towards him. I’m happy he’s doing well at Dayton, but he clearly wasn’t going to get the job done here and needed to go.
