At the head of Pacific’s best basketball season since 2009-10, coach Damon Stoudamire has racked up the hardware during the offseason awards period. Tuesday afternoon, he added another distinction to the growing list.

Stoudamire was named the 2019-20 Ben Jobe National Coach of the Year award recipient, given to the top minority head coach in Division I basketball.

“For me to be able to even be mentioned in the breath of a Ben Jobe, knowing the things that he did for all the minority coaches, it really means a lot,” Stoudamire said.
