(KU) Kansas head women’s basketball Coach Brandon Schneider has been named the Big-12 Coach of the year.
After being picked to finish 10th in the Big 12 this season, Schneider guided his team to a fifth-place finish with an 11-7 record in Big 12 play. At 20-8 on the year, Kansas has 20 wins going into the postseason for the first time since 1999-2000, which is also the last time that KU won 11 Big 12 games. This is the fifth career conference coach of the year award for Schneider, who earned three from the MIAA as the head coach at Emporia State (1999, 2001, 2004) and one from the Southland Conference as the head coach at Stephen F. Austin (2015).
Schneider becomes the first Jayhawk coach to be named the Big 12 Coach of the Year since Marian Washington received the honor in 1997, the first year of the conference.
