Technically 2 coaches...Lon Kruger could not vote for his own player..but another Big 12 Coach didn't vote for Buddy for Big 12 POY....Stupid
 
Mike Houck just tweeted it was Coach Weber at KSU..He didn't vote for Buddy.

Some people believe the winning team should have the POY. I'm ok with that.

+1. Plus, didn't KSU sweep us? And just to clarify, I don't feel that the POY should come from the conference champion. This is simply a recognition that some people feel that way.

No, it just probably seemed like it since they've had the significantly worse team two years in a row, but have beaten us 3 out of 4.

Niang and Ellis are both studs, so I'm no going to hold it against a lame duck head coach to vote for someone other than Buddy. He still won it easily...all that matters.
 
A KU player has won Big 12 Player of the Year just twice in the past 10 years, so if Weber's going to stick to this notion that the POY has to come from the conference champion, he's going to be on the outside looking in quite frequently.

I'd be curious to know if Weber voted for Buddy last season.

Almost no one thinks that. Most think it should go to the team who finished most above what pre-season media predictions were. In other words, most media members choose their coach of the year based on their biggest pre-season mistake.
 
Who cares, this is America..vote the way you want...BTW didn't Buddy win
 
This should really come as no surprise. Bruce Webber was quoted a while back that he thought Perry Ellis was the best player in the league.
 
Michael Jordan was everyone's NBA MVP in 1987.....Yet his Bulls didn't even make the finals.
 
Bruce Weber probably won't be employed going forward, so you don't have to worry about his idiotic voting going forward.

As is, there's always that one guy in any vote.

It was 1987-88.

MJ's MVP voting in 1988 was nowhere close to unanimous, as he only received 47 out of 80 first-place votes.

The NBA MVP award is voted upon by the media, not coaches.

The NBA MVP award is voted upon at the end of the regular season, so Chicago's playoff performance was irrelevant.

This is a very poor argument.

As someone else posted, they can choose whoever they want. Some coach voted for Bruce Weber as COY so that should tell you something.
 
This further confirms that Weber is a complete dweeb.

By any metric, Buddy was the choice. Period.
