NATIONAL COACH OF THE YEAR AWARD

The first National Coach of the Year was elected by vote of the C.G.A. membership in 1961 and until 1973 this method of selection for Division I was used annually. In 1968 when Division II-III was first organized, their National Coach of the Year was awarded to the coach of the team winning the Division II-III National Championship. From 1973 on the Division I National Coach of the Year was then selected annually by the same method, naming the coach of the winning team at the National Championships the National Coach of the Year. These two awards are mailed to the winners as soon as possible following their respective championships.
