Dave in Green Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 What a revelation for Conyers to earn the same honor as the player he backed up for three years. At the beginning of this season there was little hope that anyone could fill Nate Linhart's important role with the Zips. Without Conyers' steady defensive and offensive play this year, the Zips would likely have lost many of those close games that they won. A fitting and well-deserved award for a guy who just kept trying and never gave up. Quote

While he has been my son's (5 yr old) favorite player, I kindof wish Jimmy would be around when my boy was a bit older and closer to playing on a team. The example of effort and perseverance that Jimmy provides is IMHO a good one for young players to witness. Well done Jimmy! Congratulations! B) Go Zips Quote

Captain Kangaroo Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 Congrats to Jimmy C. Great to see his hard work get rewarded!Hopefully he still has a couple double-doubles left in him before graduation? Quote
MDZip Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 Dambrot was 2nd to Geno Ford (and by a narrower margin than I would have expected at 13-10) in the Coach of the Year voting. Quote
akronzips71 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Posted March 10, 2010 I hope he is just keeping it warm for Zeke for the next three years. Quote
Zip Watcher Posted March 10, 2010 Report Posted March 10, 2010 I hope he backs it up by defending Nate's Tourney MVP award also. Quote
