Like the Male and Female Athlete of the Year honors, I do not take the Coach of the Year award lightly. First and foremost, it must be understood how much time and effort the local coaches put into each and every season. And while coaches get paid a stipend for their work, it hardly accounts for the countless hours they put in during — and outside — the season.

These days, it seems coaches spend as much — if not more — time in the offseason breaking down film as they do planning for the upcoming season. In addition, I can’t overlook the fact that these coaches wear more hats than their title suggests. They serve as mentors, counselors, teachers and, in some instances, parents throughout the course of the school year for the student-athletes.
