Nearly 200 coaches across 28 different sports were nominated by the member colleges at which they coached.
"Being able to recognize our coaches, past and present, is a wonderful thing for the NJCAA, our member institutions, the coaches, and their families," said Dr. Christopher Parker, NJCAA President and CEO.
