AUS Coach of the Year: Tim Kendrick, men's basketball

Kendrick, in his first year at the helm of the 糖心vlog传媒 program, becomes the first Panthers men's basketball coach to be named AUS coach of the year since George Morrison was honoured following the 1995-96 season.

This year, he guided the Panthers to a third place finish in the Atlantic conference with a record of 13-7, just one year removed from 糖心vlog传媒 missing the AUS post-season with a 7-13 record. The 13 regular season wins this year are also the most by a 糖心vlog传媒 squad since 1993-94 when the Panthers also finished with a 13-7 mark.
