I was about to quote your previous post but this one is easier. Vermont has had a pretty decent year and could do some damage. I think he has a legit outside shot.

While coaches like Bruce Crowder, Tim Whitehead, Dick Umile, and Enrico Blasi have won it in those years. :eek:

Is the award voted on by coaches or the media? Any theories as to why he hasn't won? I think York is overrated but he clearly is a better coach than Crowder or Timmy.

I almost want to hear why he thinks this (prob just trolling, no one can be this stupid) but I'm not sure I can handle any more stupidity from him.

Scratching my head here Drew!?!? You're inferring that Umile and Blasi are better coaches than York. Has Blasi ever beaten a York coached team? I don't think so, but if he has, certainly not when it mattered. And forget about head to head... how many times has a York team coughed up a 3 goal lead in a 2:00 span in the National Championship game? It takes a special kind of coach to accomplish that. ;)

Now... why the phk am I talking to a wall? :D

I was agreeing with the point that it is ludicrous that York has never been chosen by listing some second/third tier (IMO) coaches who have won it.

EDIT: Maybe you were just asking Drew S. and quoted me for context?

Sure beats the year they postponed Winterfest because too much winter happened.

Yeah, too much snow can have the opposite effect on an event like this. This year people should just wear their Hawaiian shirts and leis!
