Over at Rebkell's, stever has suggested a first-year Coach of the Year award- a coaching version of the Rookie of the Year, if you will- named in honor of Maggie Dixon. This suggestion has met with great approval.

If you as a fan (or other person involved with the sport) would like to see this happen, let the WBCA know- their e-mail address is wbca AT wbca DOT org. Stever also suggested contacting Doug Bruno at DePaul directly; Dixon's mentor, he was also the president of the WBCA for this past season. (If you go this route, please be respectful of the fact that he just lost a protege and dear friend.) Fellow boardster Matty suggested contacting the ADs and coaches for each school. I would also suggest getting in touch with the Patriot League, Army's conference.
