Seems our single Duke #1 voter in the coaches poll had to find another #1 team to replace Duke after their loss.
I wonder...did he have UVA above UK all along?

Coaches Poll voter - anybody but UK
- Thread starter barryn2000
- Start date
No, I believe we were #2 in his polls every week based on our total poll points. We were one point short of a perfect score, aka unanimous #1...still are I believe.
Thanks....that's what I thought.
Wish we had not gone DBL OT before the Duke loss....just to see if he would have voted UVA.
In fact, here are the coaches that get to vote:
Tommy Amaker, Harvard; Randy Bennett, Saint Mary?s; Jim Boeheim, Syracuse; Todd Bozeman, Morgan State; Glenn Braica, St. Francis Brooklyn; Rick Byrd, Belmont; Scott Cherry, High Point; Tim Cluess, Iona; Ed Conroy, Tulane; Keith Dambrot, Akron; Scott Drew, Baylor; Matt Driscoll, North Florida Steve Fisher, San Diego State; Bruiser Flint, Drexel; Mark Fox, Georgia; John Gallagher, Hartford; Ray Harper, Western Kentucky; Dick Hunsaker, Utah Valley; George Ivory, Arkansas-Pine Bluff; Ben Jacobson, Northern Iowa; Rob Jeter, Wisconsin-Milwaukee; Danny Kaspar, Texas State; Mike McConathy, Northwestern State; Greg McDermott, Creighton; Matt Painter, Purdue; Dave Paulsen, Bucknell; Randy Rahe, Weber State; Joe Scott, Denver; Herb Sendek, Arizona State; Shaka Smart, Virginia Commonwealth; Bob Williams, UC-Santa Barbara; Mike Young, Wofford.

Thanks, I have wondered who the coaches were. I was thinking Cal was the one who was voting for the other school this whole time. I guess not, but it did seem like something he would do.
Is that a guess or do you know? I used to have a bookmark that showed AP poll votes but I can't remember if it showed coaches poll votes.
Not as hard to justify a vote for another team after our last two performances, but it does seem a little contrarian.
As for the Wofford coach, I assume the reason for his votes in the past weeks was mostly just an effort to get someone to talk about the Wofford program. Any publicity is good publicity after all! Had he not been outspoken about his vote, I might have given him the benefit of the doubt.

Wofford is projected as a 12 seed in one Bracketology. I thought that was surprising, but they have 3 "good losses" and one bizarre one to William and Mary. They have not been anything special in conference play thus far though, winning 3 games by 5 points or less.
I am sure it is still him voting someone other than UK #1. Then again, maybe not...someone may have changed their mind after watching us play this past week.
