The Jim Phelan Award is presented annually to the nation's top Division I coach. The recipient of the annual award is determined by a 10-member voting committee, which consists of current and former head coaches, as well as two senior staff members of collegeinsider.com.

Hoiberg guided the Huskers to one of the most successful seasons in program history in 2023-24, as Nebraska went 23-11 and reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2014. The 23 wins were the most since Nebraska won a school-record 26 games in 1990-91, while going 12-8 in the Big Ten. The Huskers’ third-place finish in the Big Ten Conference was the best since joining the conference in 2011-12 and the program’s best conference finish since the 1992-93 season.

Nebraska posted two wins over top-10 teams in 2023-24, including the program’s first win over a No. 1 team since 1982, and reached the Big Ten Tournament semifinals for the first time in program history. For his efforts, he shared Big Ten Coach-of-the-Year accolades from both the Big Ten Coaches and media voters.

Hoiberg is the second Husker men’s basketball coach to earn the honor, as Tim Miles was the 2014 Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year. Hoiberg was chosen from a group of 20 finalists from across the country. It marks the second straight season that a Big Ten coach has won the award, joining 2023 recipient Chris Collins of Northwestern.

Wow. Wonder if he has a bonus line in his contract for "national coach of the year"? No time to enjoy unfortunately, needs to go build a team for next year. Congratulations Coach!
 




Stupid question: Is this "THE" National CotY award? Or are there others?

I'm confused... I know they have a sponsor name for everything now, but I've never heard of the Jim Phelan award. Do they also have a Jim Boeheim CotY award? A John Wooden CotY award?

Kelvin Sampson was named the AP Coach of the year a couple of hours ago.
