BOZEMAN
WINS DURHAM AWARD
 BOSTON
(MA) -- After leading Morgan State to a second
consecutive MEAC championship and the program’s
first-ever NCAA tournament appearance, Todd Bozeman
has been named the recipient of the 2009 Hugh Durham
Award.
“Coach Bozeman did a phenomenal job,” says Joe Dwyer,
co-founder of CollegeInsider.com and member of the
Durham Award selection committee. “He lost the MEAC
player of the year, defensive player of the year and
his starting point guard and he we still able to
repeat as conference champion. If he accomplished that
in the ACC or Big East people would talk about this
being one of the best coaching jobs in years.”
The award, which is voted on by a 20-member selection
panel that includes current and former head coaches
and is chaired by Hugh Durham, is presented annually
at the Final Four to the top Mid-Major Coach in
America.
Todd Bozeman guided the Morgan State Bears to a 13-3
conference record and 20-11 overall mark. In his third
year at the helm, Bozeman’s Bears recorded top
non-conference wins over Maryland and DePaul and are
currently ranked 23rd in Mid-Major Top 25 poll.
