Bennett reels in big fish of coaching awards

Just a quick note: The Associated Press named WSU basketball coach Tony Bennett its coach of the year this morning, completing Bennett's takeover of the state of Washington as he now owns one more coach of the year award than Lorenzo Romar and Mark Few combined.

Bennett can put the trophy next to the slew of others he's received from smaller publications and the Pac-10 coach of the year award. I hope he had a trophy room built into his new house.

Oh yeah, almost forgot -- he gets a $25,000 bonus for winning the award. I need to negotiate that into my next teacher contract.
