Final MAC Awards....

Player of the Year, DJ Cooper
Coach of the Year, Keith Dambrot

I agree with both choices.  I have been vocal over the years that I was not a huge fan of DJ Cooper--not that I didn't think he was a good player, but that he was not as good as people said.  He was touted for his scoring and his assists, but his scoring was inefficient and might have hurt the team.  This year was different, he had a much improved season and was deserving of this honor.

As for Dambrot, this has to be a no-brainer.  Too often, the team that runs the table does not get this award in favor or some middling team that exceeded expectations.  Dambrot did a great job coaching a team to that kind of success, and he is the only choice for this award.
