Glad to see Larranga did not sneak in and win this one. It would've been a shame if that had been the case...

FLANNERY RECEIVES 2006 HUGH DURHAM AWARD

After leading the Bucknell to a second straight record-setting season, head coach Pat Flannery was named the recipient of the 2006 Hugh Durham Mid-Major Coach of the Year.

The 48-year old Flannery, who was also received the Hugh Durham mid-season honors, grabbed nine first place votes and received a total of 65 points, edging George Mason’s Jim Larranaga and Wichita State’s Mark Turgeon who finished tied for second with 32 points each. The voting was completed on March 12, prior to the start of the NCAA tournament.

“This is such a great honor,” says Flannery. “To receive an award named after such a great coach like Hugh Durham is truly an honor. This award could have gone to a number of very deserving coaches. I want to thank Joe (Dwyer), Angela (Lento) and the entire voting panel for this award.”
