Message: [QUOTE="Oldbones, post: 2599946, member: 5753"] Wade Trophy is named after early Women's College BB pioneer, accomplished player & legendary Delta coach Lily Margaret Wade. Wooden Award is named after Men's BB player and coach, actually born before Wade. Naismith Trophy is named after the man generally acknowledged to have invented the game of BB, disputed by the Lambert G. Will Family. I kinda like the awards/trophies honoring a woman, including Wade, Lieberman, Drysdale, Staley. Of course, I'd also like a female Oscar statue given out to female Academy Award winners. Wade Trophy has gone to a UCONN player 9 times. Naismith 10 times, and the very late-arriving Wooden 5 times. Not much to distinguish which selectors are the most perceptive (that is, by selecting a Husky the most times).
