ACC Player of the Year and Coach of the Year

If it was close I would agree, Scheyer/Delaney didn't have the season Vasquez had. Frankly, it is not close. To say otherwise is just being a homer.

Wow...look who's talking!!!

Still not seen your argument that he shouldn't have won it. haha

When did I claim that, ever? I said he was worthy of it, just as worthy as Scheyer/Delaney. You keep forgetting that I thought Delaney was just as good of a choice b/c he's right up there with Scheyer/Vasquez, IMO...look, knowing me, and knowing my disdain for anything VT related, why in the world would I be giving Delaney his due unless 1) he deserved it, and/or 2) I honestly think he was a viable candidate? I'm such a homer I'm giving a VT guy his due, and in the same breath a MD guy his due. But, because I say all 3 guys are worthy of it, I'm a Duke homer b/c the 3rd guy is Scheyer???

Who's being an irrational homer now man...talk about embarrassing. The only thing I said in the beginning was that all 3 were worthy, that Vasquez wasn't a "slam dunk" choice. You got your schwartz in a wad and got peeved b/c I didn't say Vasquez was the ONLY choice. Sorry to break it to ya, but you're looking a lot more biased here than I.

Gotta agree on this one....the bias part

If someone loves a team or a player or a coach, and they get themselves convinced that people off of that team are the only options, slam dunk choices, its kind of bad to then turn around and call someone else a homer.

Not saying that he isn't player of the year, honestly haven't watched enough to give a greatly informed opinion. Just I don't often find cases where there is one person or player that is so clearly up and above any other options. You do find them but when the person expressing that opinion is a fan of that team, its a bit cloudy

Here are the stats, instead of just claiming someone is bias and acting like that matters, here are the cold, hard facts.

(PPG, APG, 3P&, RPG, BPG, SPG)
Vasquez:
19.6 6.3 .382 4.6 0.3 1.6
Scheyer:
18.9 5.2 .399 3.5 0.2 1.6
Delaney:
20.9 4.2 .320 3.6 0.1 1.2

im far from a Maryland fan, but he was the only logical choice for ACC POY

I'm sorry but in terms of pure numbers--that doesn't look like a "slam dunk" choice to me. 0.7 ppg, 1.1 rpg, and 1.1 apg and .1 bpg (Vasquez over Scheyer) doesn't make it "clear cut" or "slam dunk". It makes it a tough choice.

Plus, Delaney beat Vasquez/Scheyer in ppg by 1.3/2.0 respectively. He had to be in the conversation.

Then there's the argument (that is valid) that Scheyer split stats with two of the better players in the ACC in Singler/Smith. If you took Scheyer and put him on MD or VT, does he get the #'s that he had a Duke, or does he get better since more of the shots/opportunities would go to him? It's a valid question. Some people say yes, others no. That had to weigh in on the voting...which means it's not a "slam dunk".

Overall, I'm saying it's just a tough choice between the 3. Vasquez does indeed deserve it, but it's not a no-brainer. I'm not a huge fan of arguing over who is/isn't POY as it doesn't mean anything ultimately--basketball's a team game, people remember titles/championships more than POY's.
