“We, Not Me”: Weeks Named National Coach of the Year

Jim Weeks, head boys basketball coach at Auburn Public Schools, was named the National High School Athletic Coaches Association (NHSACA) Coach of the Year on July 1 in Iowa City, Iowa. He was nominated by the Nebraska Coaches Association.

Weeks was one of eight finalists selected from 17 sports. He said the award takes winning records into account, along with state championships and state qualifier appearances, but that it represents more than that.

“This is a ‘we’ award, not a ‘me’ award,” Weeks said. “We have great players, amazing assistant coaches and a community that supports and likes sports. It takes all three to have a successful program.”
