ST. LOUIS (USBWA) – The U.S. Basketball Writers Association
has released its 2014-15 Men's All-District Teams, based
on voting from its national membership of 900-plus. The USBWA has
selected All-District Teams since the 1956-57 season, its founding
year.
For each of the nine geographic districts, ten players are selected
(11 in the case of ties) as well as a player and coach of the year.
Four schools – Gonzaga (Kyle Wiltjer and Mark Few), Kentucky (Willie
Cauley-Stein and John Calipari), Northern Iowa (Seth Tuttle and
Ben Jacobson) and Wisconsin (Frank Kaminsky and Bo Ryan) – can boast
the honor of having the district player and coach of the year. Villanova's
Jay Wright (District II) and Tony Bennett (District III) have earned
back-to-back District Coach of the Year honors.
