Add another trophy to Kevin Willard’s mantelpiece.
Already the Big East Co-Coach of the Year – an honor he shared with Villanova head coach and national champion Jay Wright – Willard was named the Peter A. Carlesimo Met Writers Coach of the Year on Tuesday, April 12. The award is given to the best coach in the New York City area by the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association. With the win, Willard joins P.J. Carlesimo and Tommy Amaker as the only Seton Hall recipients of the award.
Never one to take too much credit, Willard said he had his team to thank.
