The NCBCA Coach of the Year was first awarded following the completion of the 2000-01 season. The award was re-named in 2003 to the NCBCA Kerm Helmer Coach of the Year Award in honor of longtime Erie Community College coach Kerm Helmer, who lost his battle with cancer on Oct. 20, 2002. The awards are determined by selecting five finalists in each of the divisions by a committee of NCBCA member coaches. Members of the NCBCA decide on the final selection.
