May 20, 2003 | Cowboy Golf
McGraw, who is in his sixth year at OSU, served as the Cowboys’ acting head coach for five tournaments this spring while head coach Mike Holder recuperated from back surgery. OSU posted three victories, winning the Puerto Rico Classic, Toyota Men’s Collegiate and the Morris Williams Intercollegiate, in those five outings under his direction.
"We are very pleased to recognize these fine individuals as finalists for the Jan Strickland Assistant Coach of the Year Award," said GCAA Coach of the Year committee chairman Mark Crabtree. "They are each very talented and have been instrumental in the success of each of their respective programs."
"All of the candidates merited strong consideration for selection as finalists," said Tim Huet of TaylorMade-adidas Golf, corporate sponsor of the Strickland Award. " The three assistants that comprise the finalists all possess the qualities of the award's namesake. TaylorMade-adidas Golf is proud to be supporting this award recognizing the individuals who play such an integral role in impacting the lives of their student-athletes."
The GCAA's newest award, the Strickland Assistant Coach of the Year Award will be given to the NCAA Division I, II, III or NAIA assistant coach that, among other things, has excelled in working with their student-athletes both on the course and in the classroom. The recipient of this award will have the opportunity to further their professional development by being a guest of TaylorMade-adidas Golf at the PGA Teaching and Coaching Summit, as well as, an invitation to the TaylorMade-adidas Golf Kingdom in Carlsbad, Calif.
