Richard deserved COY

Monroe's Keith Richard deserved the Coach of the Year award in the Sun Belt, but maybe with an asterisk. It is not so much what he did this year (which certainly was good), but what he has done over the last few years. He took a program that was a complete train wreck and has brought it up to near the top of the Belt, with a strong recruiting class coming in. One of the better resurrection projects in recent years.
