2021-22 BEN JOBE AWARD FINALISTS
Editor: The following is part of a press release from benjobeaward.com.
(Boston, MA) – The finalists for the 2022 Ben Jobe award were announced on Tuesday.
The Ben Jobe Award, which is presented annually to the top Division I minority coach, is named in honor of one of the finest men to ever college basketball.
Coach Jobe is an icon in the history of basketball at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. He is best known as the head coach of the Southern University, a position he held for 12 seasons. He was also head coach at Alabama A&M, Alabama State, Talladega, Tuskegee and South Carolina State.
His record at Southern was 209-141 and included four NCAA Tournament appearances. He also coached the Jaguars to one NIT appearance, five SIAC championships, 11 SWAC titles and two NAIA Tournament Championships. Perhaps his most memorable moment as a coach was leading No. 15 seed Southern to a 93-78 win over No. 2 Georgia Tech in the first round of the 1993 NCAA Tournament.
Editor: Missouri State’s Dana Ford and Loyola Chicago’s Drew Valentine are among the twenty-five nominees.
