The coach award announced before the finals is the officials choice for the Sportsmanship Coach of the Year Award.

The KWCA Coach of the Year award for each class is finalized after the annual KWCA meeting this upcoming weekend, or at least that is how the routine used to work, it may be changed now.

And I also believe that once a coach wins the award, they are off the ballot for two years, again that may be different now...??
