ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The subject today is awards and the men and women who don't win them. Among the mysteries of the modern age: Jerry West, aka the Logo, never won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award, Glenn Close has never won an Oscar, and Don Brown has yet to win the Broyles Award
You may not know who Don Brown is, unless your pulse quickens when you hear Go Blue, or you're trying to move the chains against one of his Michigan defenses. Brown is the best defensive coordinator in the country -- don't ask me, ask the stats -- and the Broyles Award is given to the best assistant coach in the country.
