The Big 12 leads in conference representation with four coaches on the list.
Gonzaga’s Mark Few is the only previous winner of the award to appear on the list. Few won the award in 2017.

A list of 10 National semifinalists will be announced March 5. Four finalists will be named on March 17. The winner will be announced on April 4.
Editor: The finalist list contains the Ohio Valley Conference’s Casey Alexander (Belmont) and two coaches from the Missouri Valley. Drake’s Darian DeVries and Loyola Chicago’s Porter Moser join Alexander and former member of the Valparaiso family Scott Drew among the finalists.
