COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Bob Huggins, Bill Self or Tubby Smith?
Those are your Big 12 coach of the year candidates. From my perspective, that’s also the correct order-of-finish (as of today), though you can justify flipping the sequence almost any way you like.
Seeing how it’s a vote of coaches about coaches, Huggins may be dinged for having won the award last year. Self essentially gave his vote to Smith two weeks ago (when Texas Tech surged out of nowhere) and Smith responded by giving his to Self (when Kansas was locking up its 12th consecutive league title).
