The finalists for the 2022-23 Joe B. Hall National Coach of the Year award were announced on Tuesday.
The Joe B. Hall award is presented annually to the top first-time head coach in Division I college basketball.
A longtime Kentucky assistant, Joe B. Hall was given the task of following the legendary Adolph Rupp at the school. In his first season, Hall finished 20-8, won the SEC and advanced to the NCAA Regional Finals.
Hall coached the Wildcats from 1972 to 1985. He won two-thirds of his games (297-100), received four SEC Coach of the Year honors and won a National Championship in 1978. He also steered the program to two other Final Fours, won eight Southeastern Conference regular season championships and one Southeastern Conference tournament championship (1984).
The recipient of the 2023 award will be announced in March, in Houston site of the men's NCAA Basketball Championship.

Great to see CC getting national recognition. With Urgo in the mix his odds once again of winning are nil but still great.
