ChosenOne Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Brigham Young guard Jimmer Fredette, who led the Cougars to the Sweet 16 this season, was named the Associated Press' player of the year Friday in Houston. Notre Dame coach Mike Brey was also honored as the AP's coach of the year. Fredette, who led the Division I by averaging 28.5 points per game, helped BYU win the Mountain West's regular-season title. He earned 48 first-place votes from the 65-member panel. Connecticut's Kemba Walker finished second with 11 votes, followed by Duke Nolan Smith (5) and Ohio State's Jared Sullinger (1). Brey received the coach of the year honor after leading his Notre Dame squad to a 27-7 record and a second-place finish in the rugged Big East Conference. The Irish entered the NCAA tournament as a No. 2 seed before losing to Florida State in the second round. Brey, who received 28 first-place votes, is the first Notre Dame coach to win the award. San Diego State coach Steve Fisher finished second with 14 votes. Voting for both awards took place before the NCAA tournament started.

Guru Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Jimmer was the better college player this year. As far as the draft goes, I doubt that Jimmer goes before Kemba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
