Henry Iba Award

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Henry Iba Award was established in 1959 to recognize the best college basketball coach of the year by the United States Basketball Writers Association. Five nominees are presented and the individual with the most votes receives the award which is presented in conjunction with the Final Four. The award is named for Henry Iba, an Oklahoma State (then called Oklahoma A&M) coach who was called “The Iron Duke of Defense.” Iba won the NCAA College Championship in 1945 and 1946 and coached the US Olympic Teams to two Gold Medals in 1964 and 1968. This Award is presented at The Oscar Robertson Trophy Breakfast the Friday before the Final Four.
