Iandolo Wins Reddish Award...
Head coach Mat Iandolo was recognized as the winner of the 2009-10 Don B. Reddish Coach of the Year Award at the Ute's home football game at Rice-Eccles Stadium Oct. 23.
In his third year as Utah's head coach in 2009-10, Iandolo led the team to its first regular season conference championship since 1983, and its first as a member of the MWC. The Utes also earned their first NCAA tournament invitation since 1998. Utah finished the regular season with a 17-8 overall record, including a perfect 8-0 mark in conference play.
Iandolo was also named the 2010 Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year, becoming the first Ute women's tennis head coach to receive a conference award since 1991. It was the third conference coach of the year in his career, including two in the Big Ten (1998 and 2003) as the head coach at Purdue.
