Congratulations to the following basketball coaches in Manitoba who have been identified as either nominees or those receiving recognition at the upcoming Coaching Manitoba Excellence Awards on April 13, 2019 at the Club Regent Casino Events Centre.

The Coaching Manitoba Impact Awards presented by Club Regent Casino & Event Centre recognize and celebrate the outstanding achievements and significant contributions coaches have made to their athletes and their sport through coaching.

The award does not reflect the accomplishments and contributions of a coach in any one year, rather the awards are designed to acknowledge the contributions a coach has made to his/her sport and athletes over a number of years.
