Since 1959, Hutchinson Rotary Club has presented an annual trophy to the outstanding coach of The Tournament. This award is based on general sportsmanship by both the coach and his team as well as ability reflected by the perforance and success of his players. Performance prior to the The Tournament has no bearing on the selection.
