RJ becomes the first person in conference history to win Off POY multiple times and Coach becomes the first to thrice win Coach of the Year.

In terms of numbers, we had the most spots on the All-Conference teams with 16. Coastal had the fewest with 4.

Can we rename the Coach of the Year award the Danny Rocco award?

Chris Rocco got the shaft
