Top Coach

Bret Campbell, UT Martin: Granted he did have the advantage of having the league’s top player on his team but the Skyhawks still improved greatly from last season. They went from 4th to 1st in the conference and improved their overall record from 17-16 to 22-9 this season. And Hudson was just as dominant last season as he was this season so coach Campbell deserves this award for the team’s great improvement.
