Coach of the Year Selection

 

Coach of the Year

The criteria used in the selection process of the Coach and Developmental Coach of the Year by the USOC (with points for production of athletes) is incorporated as well as additional criteria outlined below. The Coaching Committee's consensus is overwhelming that this system is objective and is less restrictive in allowing some flexibility in the process.
