GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) -Maryland’s Ralph Friedgen is the Atlantic Coast Conference’s coach of the year for the second time.
The Terrapins coach on Tuesday was named the award winner following a vote of 61 members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association.
Friedgen received 29 votes, and Virginia Tech’s Frank Beamer was second with 19. North Carolina State’s Tom O’Brien and Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher each received six votes. One ballot was left blank.
Friedgen, who also won the award in 2001, led the Terps to a turnaround season. They finished 8-4 and contended for the Atlantic Division title a year after going 2-10. That’s one of the best reversals in ACC history.
