Donna Murphy stands up for younger brother at the Mr & Miss Basketball Banquet. While handing out the 1st ever Donna Murphy Award, Coach Murphy questions why her brother Kez didn't get the coach of the year award in the 9th region. Did he get slighted, or was someone more deserving??

Wow!!!!! Really!!! It's voted on by their peers, right! I assume several felt the other candidate was more deserving or they wouldn't have garnered enough votes, right? Pretty simple. No one appointed the person that won it!

I dont have a problem with who got coach of the year. You could argue Perkins from Holmes as well but the coaches vote and coach Richey is well deserving of this award.

Just like the voting for miss basketball, all is done before postseason begins. Whether or not that's the best way to do it is debatable.

That may be the first and last Donna Murphy award.

What did she say that was controversial ? I just watched the whole video. She stuck up for her younger brother who dominated the state of KY . She didn't criticize any other coaches but I think she raised a legitimate point.

That was classy...

On a night that was supposed to be about the kids...some people just don't get it.

Shouldn't someone have told Joe B what Miss Basketball's name was??? That's a big moment for the kid and her name doesn't get announced correctly?

I couldn't agree more ! Marcy?? I only watch the last 30 minutes it was brutal to watch

Plenty of coaches get coach of the year, but never win it all. She needs to get her head out of the clouds. Congrats to her brother, but not called for, this wasn't her moment to speak up, classless.

I got Coach From the Stands of the Year one time......but would trade it for a championship.

She made a go figure statement that took nothing away from anyone else or the nights even. People always trying to make something out of nothing.

This obviously is a very sought out award from across the state..........or at least there is a lot of folks in the running.:lol2:
