Coach Powers Named 2018-19 Frank Kush Award Winner
Each Sun Devil head coach is asked in mid-June to pick one ... just one ... Sun Devil Coach of the Year in honor of Frank Kush.
The award -- presented around the anniversary of Coach Kush's passing (June 22, 2017) -- is one way for each coach to recognize a peer that impressed them the most. The rules and guidelines are... well, none.
They can vote for someone who earned Pac-12 Coach of the Year honors, a coach who made an impression in their first year, or simply the nicest coach in the building. Once tallied, one coach earns what one would consider the ultimate show of respect, an award from their peers in the 26-sport department.
