At this point, I think it has to be D'Amour. Preseason, Tech was picked

to finish third in the ACC and went 5-1 against the teams picked first and second. Yes, UVA was picked 10th and is currently sixth, but third to first is better than tenth to sixth. When you add in Tech's national ranking, it has to be Coach D'Amour.

Coach Pete all the way. Very deserving. **

Coach Pete should be/deserves ACC Coach of the Year.
carhokies 05/03/22 01:02 PM ET
I agree 100%. Great coach great recruiter. **
SCHokie1103 05/03/22 02:45 PM ET
He beat therm 2 of 3 last yer too.
OKDokeyHokie 05/03/22 02:25 PM ET
Pete deserves it based on what he has accomplished.**
delawarehokie 05/03/22 01:20 PM ET
Absolutely DH. **
SCHokie1103 05/03/22 02:45 PM ET
I agree because

Pete may not win ACC COY, but could win national COY**
ronvpi 05/03/22 10:28 AM ET
Indeed he could. **
SCHokie1103 05/03/22 02:46 PM ET
The perverse logic might be that he has won the ACC COY recently (2019)...

Great Point - this is from Softball America's preseason thoughts on the ACC
VTChip 05/03/22 10:55 AM ET
For sure great motivation Chip. **
SCHokie1103 05/03/22 02:48 PM ET
He didn't name VT either in the top pitching staffs returning.
carhokies 05/03/22 12:49 PM ET
Oh yeah. **
SCHokie1103 05/03/22 02:47 PM ET
It's been hanging in my indoor facility as well.**
dallasvt 05/03/22 12:06 PM ET
That's such lazy research**
VT_AD 05/03/22 11:26 AM ET
Yep…..not one word about VT.
RJHokie 05/03/22 11:20 AM ET
I'll add this
VT_AD 05/03/22 10:14 AM ET
Personally I don’t think finishing 6th is worthy of COY

RJHokie 05/03/22 11:08 AM ET
I think Pete or UVA probably

The only thing uva deserves is to be smacked around.**

Kind of a fuzzy award in ways, I see "improvement" being the biggest
`lag 05/03/22 09:58 AM ET
Respectable
Techdady 05/03/22 10:03 AM ET
Do we consider the flashy digs?**
IB4TECH 05/03/22 10:38 AM ET
That's my point, it's a fuzzy award "bad to respectable" might be...

Feel good

dallasvt 05/03/22 09:41 AM ET
Yeah, math curve there, those last few spots get increasingly harder
`lag 05/03/22 10:54 AM ET
Plus Pete actively went after and secured a tough schedule where others
RJHokie 05/03/22 09:37 AM ET
And mostly took care of business
OKDokeyHokie 05/03/22 02:42 PM ET
Reminds me a little how F$U built their football brand
EDGEMAN 05/03/22 12:16 PM ET
Yeah that was a brutal schedule - good point**
VT_AD 05/03/22 09:56 AM ET
It darn well better not go to Dook, who played a cream puff schedule.**
