Greensboro — For the second straight year and the third time overall, Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie has been selected the ACC Coach of the Year by a vote of a blue ribbon panel of national and local media members, as well as school representatives.

McCallie led the sixth-ranked Blue Devils to a 27-2 record and a 17-1 mark in ACC regular season play. The 17 regular season conference wins are an ACC record. Duke opened the season with a 16-0 mark in league action, which equaled the best start in ACC history.

The conference coach of the year honor is McCallie’s seventh overall and her third ACC honor since taking over at Duke prior to the 2007-08 season. She was ACC Coach of the Year in 2010 and 2012, and was selected America East Coach of the Year in 1999 and the North Atlantic Coach of the Year in 1995 and 1996.
