Congrats Coach Barnes.
Congrats Coach Barnes.
Tennessee basketball coach Rick Barnes was named by the Atlanta Tipoff Club on Friday as one of 10 semifinalists for the Werner Ladder Naismith Trophy for Men's College Coach of the Year.
In his third season at Tennessee, Barnes has taken a team picked in the preseason to finish 13th in the 14-team Southeastern Conference to a 20-7 (10-5 SEC) record and second-place in the current league standings. The Volunteers are rated No. 11 in the NCAA's RPI listing and have spent 12 consecutive weeks in the Associated Press Top-25 poll. Tennessee has won eight games away from home and defeated five "Power Five" opponents during non-conference play (Purdue, NC State, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest and Iowa State).
