Analysis At what point is it the coaches?

[Some Idiot]

Im honestly not sure how the coaching/assistant awards work but seeing that Alastair Clarkson has never won Coach of the year I think it’s fair to say they are a bit of a joke

Coach of the year is simply 3,2,1 for the season voted by the other senior coaches.

Main flaw is that it is a home and away season award only, awarded before the finals.

Assistant of the year just comes from the club:
Coaches asked to rate the Assistant and Development Coaches at their club, based on their overall performance this year, allocating each a score out of 10 (10 being the highest score). Each Assistant and Development Coach will receive an average score out of 10 from their Club’s Coaching panel, which will be matched by an average score out of 10 from their Playing group to determine an overall score.
