Mark Few will be taking home the 2017 Werner Ladder Naismith Men’s College Coach of the Year award after narrowly beating the other finalists. Chris Collins [Northwestern], Jay Wright [Villanova] and Bill Self [Kansas] were the other coaches in contention.
“It’s truly an honor to be chosen for the Naismith Award,” Few said. “It takes a village to have a season like this. I’m blessed to have the best coaching staff in the country and a phenomenal group of players that are a joy to coach. This has been such a special year and I am grateful to be recognized by the Atlanta Tipoff Club.
