I'm hoping he's back next season, a proper wind up merchant which I love to see.
I'm always cynical about the end of season awards... I would see it as a great opportunity to coax them back for the next season, lets show them how much the coaching staff and fans appreciate them. Sometimes it's obvious who should get an award, and a 'fans' award is obviously a big deal. In my cynical mind, if Brad had a season like last, and he'd already committed himself to next season, I'd be tempted to take him aside and say... "I appreciate all the work you've done, but I've taken you out of contention for any of the coaches awards because... well you know we all love you" sort of thing.
