It's still only February, but the SEC has some coaches making a strong case for SEC Coach of the Year.
Frank Martin, South Carolina
Most felt this would be somewhat of a rebuilding season rather than a nationally-ranked team considering how much last year's senior class meant to the program, but Martin has done a masterful job in a number of ways:
1.) Player development: PJ Dozier has made an incredible leap from Year 1 to Year 2 at point guard and Sindarius Thornwell has gone from a solid veteran starter to being a legit candidate for player of the year in the SEC.
