College notes: Former Daytona State coach Underwood is finalist for Durham award at Stephen F. Austin

In his first year as a head basketball coach at a four-year school, former Daytona State coach Brad Underwood has been named one of 15 finalists for the 2014 Hugh Durham Award, presented to the nation's top mid-major coach.

Underwood led Stephen F. Austin to its first NCAA tournament victory in program history last week when the No. 12 seeded Lumberjacks upset No. 5 VCU, 77-75 in overtime. Stephen F. Austin, which lost to UCLA in the next round, finished the season at 32-3, 18-0 in the Southland Conference. Before the UCLA loss, the Lumberjacks had won 29 games in a row.

The Hugh Durham Award winner will be announced on April 4.

 

Underwood is also a finalist for two other coaching awards. He is one of 10 finalists for the Joe B. Hall Award, given to the top first-year coach in Division I and is one of 15 finalists for the Jim Phelan Award, given to the top D-I coach in America.

Underwood coached at DSC for three seasons (2003-06), leading the Falcons to a 70-24 record. He was named Mid-Florida Conference Coach of the Year twice.

That was his first hoops job back in 1988...I'd focus on what he's done the past 10-12 years...which is win.

There is probably a reason someone who is 50 yrs old just got his first Div I head job.  Plus sick of the one hit wonders becasue of one win in the tourney and a great record in one of the worst confrences in America.  IF this is the route you think USF should go I think Bob Marlin current head men's basketball coach at University of Louisiana at Lafayette is a better choice.  But I still think USF can do better then both of these guys.  But with this debacle, I'm not so sure anymore
