Talent in Coaching Ranks Lead ACC's Resurgence - IC Daily | College Basketball

As the ACC season comes to a close, the debate over postseason awards has begun. Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes and Tommy Ashley discuss the league's success through the lens of the men on the sidelines leading their teams into March.

Ashley and Barnes discuss the ACC's recent coaching changes and the impact on the conference's performance. They highlight the decline in ACC quality due to the addition of more teams and the departure of iconic coaches. The conference has bounced back after last season's disastrous performance and the impressive coaching performances have driven the rise. Credit Ryan Odom at Virginia, Jai Lucas at Miami and Will Wade at NC State for turning around their programs. They note Duke's John Scheyer and UNC's Hubert Davis's success despite high expectations. They also discuss the challenges of managing the transfer portal and NIL deals, and the financial pressures on programs like Pittsburgh and Georgia Tech. The conversation emphasizes the importance of adaptability and financial resources in modern college basketball coaching.

Who will win ACC Coach of the Year? Who deserves the award and who doesn't? How do expectations, either high or low, affect voting for the award?
