ST. LOUIS (USBWA) – The U.S. Basketball Writers Association
has released its 2015-16 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 – Villanova (Josh Hart and Jay Wright), Virginia (Malcolm
Brogdon and Tony Bennett), Utah (Jakob Poeltl and Larry
Krystkowiak) and Oregon (Dillon Brooks and Dana Altman) – 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
District Coach of the Year honors in three straight seasons.
