Comments about ‘MWC hands out basketball awards; BYU's Cummard co-player of the year’

Congratulations to the MWC on a Solomonesque choice for Co-MVP - Lee and J.R are both well deserving of the honor!

It's a cop-out to name co-players of the year.

whatever!!! J.T. is second team for sure, not third team. If BYU can win the conference then, the other teams' players are not that good. BYU should be filling up the roles of both first and second teams.

Giddons and ribcage deserve it, they are the best players in the MWC.

Congrats to all those players in the MWC!

Two first and one thrid team for a team that DOMINATED the conference and won back to back titles? The selection committee was clearly working to to be "PC" and chickened out, just like the co-player award.

Where was JR the first part of the year - and isn't his team barely in third place?

MWC shoudl celebrate the best players for the whole year and factore in where there teams ended up because of the efforts.

Lon as coach of the year was another "safe" choice Dave Rose could have easily been named, but it would have been embarassing to get it three years in a row.

Cummard should have won it out right. His numbers have beeen great. BYU would have gotten more awards but people would have felt bad becuase they've done it 2 years in a row! Go cougs!

Most conference wins in MWC history, national ranking, back to back regular season champions and lost the conference MVP. It sounds like Rose was ripped of another Coach of the Year. Way to go awards committee, this isn't Jr. Jazz "IT'S DIVISION I (BASKETBALL) it ain't intramurals". Give the award to the one most deserving, Lon Kruger is 2nd team coach of the year

League pick co-players of the week all year...why wouldn't they pick co-players of the year.

Way to go Lee. Keep up the good work and let's make it to the sweet 16.

Cummard should have won it outright. the MWC player of the year award goes to the MVP of the WINNING regular season champs. only a co-player award should go out IF there is a shared championship!!

co players of the week is a copout too. grow a backbone and give it to one player I say.

You wonderful Y dreamers will get just what you deserve at Las Vegas. What kind of a crying, whinning song are you going to sing then. National ranking? Who is kidding who? At best you are very average nationally.

you're right dropped ball, the MWC did drop the ball. New Mexico's Giddons should have won the conference play of the year outright, best player in the conference bar none. It does not matter if his team finished third, it is an individual award not a team award. And kruger deserved to win the award for coach of the year, second in conference with an extremly depleted team, and their RPI is as good as BYUs. Oh by the way if rose wants the coach of the year award thats cool, kruger will just go to the sweet 16 in stead, oh wait didn't that happen last year.

The player of the year should go to the best player, not the one who gets the best numbers by being selfish. The BYU players are the most unselfish. That is why they won the league title. The tournament in Las Vegas is a gift to UNLV, just as the coach of the year award was. The MWC is a bush league.

Why didn't Jimmy Boylen get coach of the year?

that matters is BYU is the champ AGAIN! Everything else is an insignificant footnote.

BYU will win Vegas! Congrats BIG LEE!

Yes, and we spanked Utah twice - again (you know - that "storied" progarm that has nothing to talk about other than what they did 10 years ago)!

Life is good.

I'm not a Utah fan but I do have to say you BYU fans are a joke you say some of the stupid things on these blogs
