ST. LOUIS (USBWA) – The U.S. Basketball Writers Association
has released its 2016-17 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 or 12 in the case of ties) as well as a player and coach of the year.
Four schools – Villanova (Josh Hart and Jay Wright), North
Carolina (Justin Jackson and Roy Williams), Purdue (Caleb
Swanigan and Matt Painter) and Kansas (Frank Mason III and Bill
Self) – can boast
the honor of having the district player and coach of the year. Villanova's
Jay Wright (District II) has earned
District Coach of the Year honors in four straight seasons,
while Josh Hart is the District II Player of the Year for the
second straight season.
