NEW ORLEANS – Three days after bringing home a share of the Sun Belt regular season title, head coach Richie Riley was named Sun Belt Coach of the Year, and Barry Dunning Jr. and Myles Corey each earned All-Conference honors the league announced Monday.
After coming into the season ranked as the No.11 seed in the Sun Belt Preseason Coaches poll, Richie Riley guided the Jags to the first Sun Belt conference regular season championship in 17 years and Joe Gottfried Coach of the Year honors. South Alabama's 21 wins in the regular season are the most in Riley's time with the program and the most by any Jaguar team in the regular season since 2008.
