Why Jay Wright should be the BIG EAST Coach of the Year

A lesson in simplicity.

Coach of Year awards are dumb. At least, the voting process for Coach of Year awards are dumb.

Because of this voting, Jay Wright won't be your 2015-16 BIG EAST Coach of the Year, Chris Mack of Xavier will be. That's a mistake.

While Mack and his Musketeer team have an undeniably great season, what are we rewarding? Are we rewarding them for our low expectations? How about for their improvement from last year? Should we really be rewarding someone for having a down season the year prior?

The Coach of Year award should always be given to the best coast in the conference.
