Has Kentucky ever had an SEC Player of the Year? Coach of the Year?

Kentucky's hot start to the 2018 season has put its players and coach among the favorites for the Southeastern Conference's postseason awards.

But when was the last time a Wildcats coach or player won one of those awards?

Well, it's been more than a decade for SEC Player of the Year. And more than 30 years for an SEC Coach of the Year.

Artose Pinner won SEC Offensive Player of the Year in 2002 while Tim Couch won SEC Player of the Year in 1998. Jerry Claiborne is the latest UK coach to win SEC Coach of the Year in 1983, which was a tie.
