FINALISTS FOR 2011 JIM PHELAN AWARD



BOSTON (MA) -- The sixteen finalists for the 2011 Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year award were announced on Wednesday. Among the finalists is the recipient of the 2010 award, Pittsburgh’s Jamie Dixon who is one four Big East coaches on the list of finalists.

“So many coaches did outstanding jobs this season that it is difficult to select a group of finalists,” said Jim Phelan. “They have all done great jobs with the respective programs.”

The winner will be announced at the CollegeInsider.com awards banquet on April 1 in Houston, site of the men’s basketball championship.

The award is named after Jim Phelan who coached his entire career at Mount Saint Mary's University. He led the Mountaineers to the 1962 NCAA Men's Division II Basketball Championship. When he retired in 2003, after coaching for 49 years, he amassed 830 wins (overall record of 830-524) in over 1,300 games in all divisions. In those 49 years, 19 of his teams amassed 20 or more wins in a season.
