No yet another deserving of Nationwide Coach of the 12 months than my man @apthepark. He’s taken @IUPUI_WBB from worst to first. Needed to unfairly forfeit 2 video games this yr. Gained the league anyway. Gained at Iowa. Took Michigan to OT on the highway. Can be a troublesome out within the Dance.
