I say yes.

I'd love to see Archie in the discussion, however NCOY is Calipari's to lose.

Yeah, Calipari is really struggling handling all those McDonalds All-Americans.

What about Gregory?

	Brian Gregory BRIAN GREGORY UD Men's Basketball Head Coach since 2004. Groomed by the likes of Judd Heathcoate and Tom Izzo at Michigan State, as well as Kevin O'Neill and others, Gregory's defensive-minded leadership has led Dayton to NCAA and multiple NIT appearances. A good recruiter, BG has elevated the athleticism of the squad in recent years and kept top area talent at home. Still looking for that breakthrough season with his own players that catapult him to the NCAA tourney. Graduated from Oakland University.

I do not like KY or Calipari even a little bit. However, he deserves it. He and others have had similar talent and not gone undefeated. The coach recruits the kids and he gets them to play as a team. Amazing that he has those kids playing defense. Watch Duke or Texas. Both with great talent, but lethargic inconsistent defense. I hope Archie wins it, but it will not be close.

Archie may not even win A10 COY.

Not saying Archie isn't deserving, but Davidson was picked to finish 12th in the conference and they may win the regular season title (with their starting PG out 5-6 games) so I would expect McKillop to get plenty of votes.

And if URI wins the regular season, Hurley at URI (preseason pick #6) will get some votes.

I can't see an argument for any coach besides these three.

	Rhode Island RHODE ISLAND The University of Rhode Island was chartered as the state's agricultural school in 1888. The school became the Rhode Island College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1892. Located in southern Rhode Island, URI is a quintessential New England campus - rural in feeling yet close to the city of Providence, the state's capital. Linked to the city, the beaches, and nearly every corner of the state by both rail and public transit, the campus is easily accessible from Boston and New York URI currently offers 100 majors in seven degree-granting colleges. There are more than 12,000 students on the Kingston campus, about 3,000 in Providence, and a complement of about 700 faculty. Fellow members of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Rams.

theres an argument there somewhat for Davidson. HOWEVER if it's the Coaches who actually vote, MONEY Is on ARchie. Do you really think McKillop and Shaka won't vote for Miller?

There's more of a case for URI - IF THEY win either the league outright or both the league and the Tournament
.

My money $$ is on ARCHIE. Maestro and Motivator!

Conference coy, as well as all other awards will be announced prior to the start of the tournament

[Canonball]

Miller's got my vote. I thought this team would be out of gas half way through the conference schedule, instead the title is there for the taking, and in my mind we've pretty much sealed a bid to the dance. Truly impressive to squeeze this much out of the guys regardless of whatever happens in the post-season.

Correct. Last year all awards were released on the Tuesday before the A10 tournament started, so I would expect the same this year.

All awards except All-Academic are voted on by the coaches. All-Academic is voted on by the SIDs.

I think It's a two coach race and could be close between Archie and McKillop
If UD wins out it will be Archie
If Davidson wins out it will be McKillop (A10 champ after being picked 12th and wins against arguable the other top 3 teams in the A10 - URI, UD, and VCU)

Wouldn't surprise me if they split the vote and we end up with Co-COTY
