The Hugh Durham National Coach of the Year Award (formerly called the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Coach of the Year Award from 2005 to 2009) is an award given annually to the most outstanding mid-major men's college basketball head coach in NCAA Division I competition. The award was established in 2005 and was re-named for legendary head coach Hugh Durham, who coached at Florida State, Georgia and Jacksonville.[1] Among his many accomplishments, Durham is the only person to be the all-time winningest coach for three separate NCAA basketball programs.[1]
