Olmstead could easily be the lowest paid coach among the the Final Four coaches (even Salima probably makes more than him). \\ He is, she does! Sullivan may make more as well. Of course we don't know what his bonus structure is.

Really glad BYU made some noise while they had that Hamson/Gray/Young core. You see a lot of teams miss our, for whatever reason, during their "window." Cougar fans won't have to look back and wonder "what if"

I publicly stated he wouldn't win it, because Sheffield didn't win it last year despite the obstacles he overcame. Clearly, I was dead wrong. Olmstead has been there a few years and built this program with his recruit. Sheffield walked into a program with some talent.

Personally, I thought it was a great choice though I think she's one of many terrific assistants out there including others at UNC. It's chosen based on nominations. There's a form on the AVCA site and I think it includes criteria. It's a very new award, but interestingly all the winners Salima Rockwell, Denise Corlett (twice), and Holly Watts (now a head coach) have been female. Eve Rackham of UNC was assistant coach of the year. and how in the hell they come up with that, I will never know. That isnt suggesting she isnt wonderful, and did a wonderful job.

Had they had the award for 20+ years, I suspect Denise Corlett would have gotten it more than once, so....
Having the right assistants or the wrong ones can have a huge impact on a program. It's not an easy thing to figure out because the assistant's role can be so different from school to school and it's not a role that gets much if any public recognition.
