Pay,pay the price evil empire for not participating in my national dual championships!
Ohio State Sweeps Big Ten Wrestling Awards
- Thread starter Eastern HWT
- Start date
I was curious so I finally asked how they decided. The answer i got was it was a close contest between Ryan and Manning. Ryan finished a strong second at Bigs and Manning won 3 matches in the dual. Then Cael explained, "we respect all of our competitors, right. We know they will wrestle us hard, and we just love to compete, right. With Coach Ryan and Ohio State we know we are getting their best effort and it is just fun to compete with Ohio State so we have our guys rested and ready to get a test and give a test. With Coach Manning and Nebraska we know we are getting their best effort too. So we like to train the heck out of the kids that week so they get a quality contest with the added adversity of battling through fatigue against a qualitycompetitor. Right."
So the decision was Ryan since Ohio State did better when both competed and got stomped against a rested PSU team.
Basketball Nebraska was 15-5 and the coach was big 10 coach of the year. It happens in many sports. Michigan was 19-1
If it's named after Woody Hayes then Cael didn’t have a puncher's chance!
Thanks for the information. It is relevant, maybe. Somehow. 7-13 to 15-5 is nice improvement. I probably would have gone with the guy who coached up his team from 15-5 to 19-1 like the media did.
Apples and oranges. No 2nd place team has been awarded one of our titles either.
We were discussing individual awards, not team titles.
BTW, the Yankees won 5 titles from 1996 to 2009. They won only two coach of the year awards,
That's how it works.
