Best Coach

With the paucity of championships won by Nashville-based teams, this one is a shoo-in. Commodores baseball coach Tim Corbin came to West End in 2003. In the 35 years prior, Vandy had six winning seasons in the SEC and qualified for only three NCAA tournaments. In the 16 years since, Vandy’s missed the tournament only twice, and won the conference four times and the national title twice, the latest win in Omaha coming this summer. Given Vanderbilt’s perennial mediocrity on the gridiron and more recent struggles on the hardcourt, the Black-and-Gold faithful thank the Good Lord for Corbin every day and wait for spring. J.R.
