It's based on results in the bag - even if people just want to give the positives for coaches at all levels and what makes them a good coach.

Can people start putting worst or best in front of the coach they are nominating, because sure as hell your not nominating Rupert Sapwell for best coach!
Snake, why would you nominate Ian Stacker as best coach and Lindsay Gaze as worst???

because the tigers have been under performing for years with the likes of Gaze, Copeland and Bradtke but he has not introduced youth to the team.

Stacker as one of the best because he Townsville have been the big improvers in the league since he started coaching.

So snake, Lindsay winning Two titles and being Australian Men's coach is much worse than Stacker's 0 championships and never coaching a "senior" mens Australian team???

Lindsay and the Tigers were awesome in there prime when they won championships but you have to keep improving your side as the head coach to stay at the top. Since then I don't believe he has done a good job of keeping them up the top.

Andrew carried the team for many years

I don't think Townsville would be too far away from a championship.

Townsville arent consistant enough to win a championship yet.

Sappa did not have a very good team last season. He needs to recruit some descent players which we all know is actively working on.

Good luck sappa we all know you can coach.

i dont think we all know sappa can coach.

Judging by the questions he asked Wojo at the Coaching clinic a little while back, for me, the jury is still out!

Norwood just missed out on the finals the year before with the same team they had last year, so you can't say he didn't have a very good team.

Inconsistency with his messages resulted in the year Norwood had last year = worst coach

Norwood arguable had the best team in the competition on paper last season.
I think it is uinfair to say the team had no decent players last year and as mentioned previously the narrowly missed out on the finals 2 seasons ago and made the finals the year before that with basically the same line up.
I would have expected the group to go forward last season not backwards and definitely not wooden spooners.
