ACC baseball coach of the year

9

I know the Wake Forest coach probably deserved it but can I make a case for Bakich?

1. Wake Forest has the best starting rotation in college baseball.
2. Coach Bakich is in his first year.
3. Wake Forest finished ahead of Clemson last year and was expected to be in the top two or three this year.
4. Clemson was not picked to win the ACC tournament or finish in the top two or three in the league but they did both.
5. Clemson is a much younger team than Wake overall.

Why does the ACC give out the coach of the year award before the conference tournament? I assume Bakich finished as the runner up, is that right?

Everyone participates in the regular season.

Kind of like the Heisman. Not sure who all votes on this award, but the Heisman is a joke of people who count as experts and voters.

What bothers me about it is Dabo has had the #1 team in the ACC almost yearly, yet most years the coach of a team that did better than expected was chosen as COTY. If the ACC was consistent, Bakich would be the coach of the year in baseball (or maybe if he coached in Clemson, NC.)

I agree. Never liked that the coach who is supposed to win the conference does what is expected and then wins the coach of the year award

Dabo wins the ACC almost every year. Clemson football has 27 conference championships.

Wake won the regular season ACC for the first time in 60 years!

Bakich is deserving but certainly we can agree Wake’s coach accomplished something deserving of recognition as well.

Wake was the preseason co-favorite to win.

Bakich should be COY by a wide margin
