Identity politics rears it's ugly head. There was no way that they were going to give this award to a man, and with the attention they were giving to the # of black female coaches in the league, it was obvious that the winner was coming from that pool. It would have been Dawn, but since she underachieved, then Joni had the strongest case amongst that group.

Kellie would have been my 2nd choice behind Gary, but my guess is that she was not considered for reasons similar to Gary.



Maybe in another year, but this year, I think it was clear what their criteria was for COY.

This is such crap. Women of color have to work twice as hard and be twice as good to succeed. I don’t know many white men who would trade in their privilege to be a black woman. Cry me a river.

Yes, so the answer is to give them an award that someone else clearly deserved by any objective measure.

But as with the previous poster, you're welcome to make an argument for how a coach who ISN'T in the running for NCOY beat out 3 candidates who are to win the award in her conference.

She would leave race out of the conversation.

I believe the initial racial inference came as your pal said Gary B was overlooked for COY because whoever voted felt it should go to a woman of color. So...

Technically, that was me who brought it up...

But I stand by my hunch that identity politics took precedence in the criteria for the winner compared to traditional conference performance metrics that would normally determine such an award. And for all the people calling "BS" on this, I have yet to see an argument for why Joni's case was stronger than Gary's. Figure that...

You are so wrong on so many points I don't know where to start..

Well, I didn't make many points here that weren't facts. So feel free to correct.

Boston changed the other teams approach just as much. Opinion.

She had more blocks even if in more minutes per game. Fact.

Key's minutes were less not because she had to share minutes but the foul trouble she found herself in in many games. Partial opinion

She fouled out of four of them. Fact

Both are Sophomores. Fact

Crap calls are in the eye of the partisan beholder. This is pretty much fact.

yea, i think you were the buddy 😂 we all sorta got that 😂

Can we return this thread to being about the players? We b*tched and moaned for soo many years about players not developing now we have 4 players getting recognized and we can’t even enjoy that!

I don’t know why Joni won maybe because the wins against TN meant more than the losses to other teams 🤣 I dunno... but i don’t wanna dull the shine on our players because of a sex/race debate which in the end doesn’t have any implication on where our team is trying to go.

Let’s recognize Kellie in doing a good job as well and let her get her team fired up. Shoot get candace to talk to them about being disrespected and how that motivated her😉
