Wth...he is the total opposite of Chris Street
PMac wins Chris Street award

In Connor and Caitlin's basement where he'll soon be residing.
“The spirit, enthusiasm and intensity of Chris Street.”. None of them apply to this recipient who is on his way out the door to another program.
All of it, no. But as "lost" pointed out just above, pretty sure the "spirit, enthusiasm, and intensity..." don't apply to someone who could stay another year but is headed elsewhere.
I might go so far as to say that's a bit of a slap in the face of Street's memory.
I find giving the CS award to Pmac a crock of ****
Intensity alone is the antithesis of street
I wish him well at Butler and he seems to be a good kid... IMO this is another reason Fran needed to hit the road, he has chosen family over the program the last 7 years. Same can be said for KF. Thanks Barta.
The only thing PMAC had in common with CMS was they both were white, played for Iowa and were tall. Owen Freeman should win that award every year he is here.

I can't recall if the coaches vote on that award, if it's the players that vote, if the Street family is involved? Hard to argue if Mike and Patty signed off on it.
But I'm in the camp with others that PMac's actions (or lack thereof) on the court don't seem to embody the spirit of the award or mirror the actions of Chris on the court. Chris was tenacious.....vivacious.....the ultimate competitor. He also was a helluva rebounder (especially on the offensive end) and a pretty damn good defender too......all things PMac definitely was NOT during his time.

Garbage by Fran.....that is Owen's award.
Yep, in spades....
Awarding this to a guy who we know is willingly transferring out? If the accident had never happened the last thing Chris would have done would be to transfer away from Iowa.
I guess if they'd given it to Pierre Pierce, that would have been a less deserving honoree.

Or at the very least Payton. That kid you can never fault for lack of effort on the court. Love the way he plays. Always giving 100% effort. Unlike pmac who floats around the 3pt arc and never battles for rebounds.
This is absolutely the worst travesty since 2010, when Bawinkel won it averaging 3.1 pts a game and 0.9 rebounds.
Even Patty Street looks bewildered about the selection…
Unpopular opinion:
After watching the CMA doc on the B1G, I came away seriously disliking that woman.
This feels wrong on every level. Coach’s kids need to exceed the standards for any award or privilege. He didn’t even meet the minimum. Too bad. Maybe next week he will win the Nobel Peace Prize. He’s just as qualified.
This is garbage. No and or ifs about it. I wish the kid well, but no way does he resemble Chris Street's spirit.
it's really a no win situation having a negative reaction to it.
I don't care. That award to me - and I think most people - means balls out effort on the hardwood.
It's as tone deaf as him getting minutes and starts over other people for 4 years so I'm not surprised.

I was going to ask the same thing...
I haven't seen the documentary, but I do know people who knew the snowplow driver and they said he obviously took the whole thing real hard and they were not fans of the whole lawsuit deal the Street family had going against him.
For whatever reason...Chris made a mistake by pulling out in front of a snowplow and paid for it with his life. Sad situation all the way around and a waste of a great talent and life.

What I thought was interesting is that Tony Perkins, a starter and 2nd (?) leading scorer on the team wasn't recognized with a single end of season team recognition award, presumably because he's transferring/transferred. Yet, PMac, who's also transferring, won perhaps the most coveted end of season recognition? Not sure what it says, exactly, but it says something.
