How many times in the ACC has Coach of the Year gone to same school in the two major sports? Cuz we got a shot at it.
 
Hey nerds, why haven't you answered mack's question for him ?

Gotta beat Duke in Cameron to make it happen. If K wins the conference, he'll get it as lifetime achievement award.
 
this is really a question for the history nerds, not the stat nerds

the stat nerds would tell you the odds of it happening in a 14/15-team league
 
Still lots of games to go, but the COY seems like a two horse race between Forbes and Larranaga. Miami plays at WF on February 12. WF likely needs that game to finish ahead of the Canes in the ACC standings.

A two horse and a rat race.
 
yeah, K has gone 20+ years since he last won ACC COY in 2000 (since then Dook has regular-season titles in 2001, '04, '06, '10)

a partial list of people who have won the award since K last won it:

Paul Hewitt
Skip Prosser
Herb Sendek
Seth Greenberg (twice)
Dave Leitao
Leonard Hamilton (three times)
Jim Larranaga (twice)

if Dook wins the league, I would imagine he gets a career achievement award from the voters
 
Since 2000, Maryland (O'Leary & Williams) is the only ACC school to accomplish this. They did so in the 2000/2001 academic year.


Maryland gets an honorable mention for (Friedgen/Williams, bball '09/'10 & football '10), as does VT (Greenberg/Beamer, bball '04/'05, football '05).
 
Georgia Tech held both awards after the '85 football season (Cremains/Curry), but... Again, not for the same academic year.

NC State did it in the '72/'73 academic year, with Holtz and Sloan

It's a rare feat. Hope it happens for Forbes.

I agree that K gets it this year if they finish 1st or 2nd, but it is hard to believe that two teams picked to finish 13th & 14th could finish in the top three and their coaches would not win COY.

Josh Pastner in 2017 for going 8-10 in the ACC is always my go-to, at least for recent evidence, of how much COY is dependent on the preseason poll.

Therefore, Wake Forest being picked to finish 13th and subsequent performance probably Forbes in the lead, or at least tied with Larranaga.
