State Farm Coaches All-America Awards Selected by the NABC



The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) is excited to have State Farm Insurance as the official sponsor for All-America teams and player of the year awards.

The State Farm Division I All-America team and the State Farm Division I Player of the Year were introduced on Saturday, April 4, at Hoop City in The COBO Convention Center in Detroit, as an integral part of the NABC Convention during the NCAA Men's Basketball Championships.

In addition, State Farm players of the year for NCAA Divisions II and III, the National Intercollegiate Athletic Association (NAIA) and the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) were also selected and honored in March and April.

State Farm is a long time supporter of athletics with relationships with more than 100 Division I schools, sponsor of all Missouri Valley Conference Championships, Corporate Partner of the NCAA and sponsor of the NABC and WBCA All-America teams and Player of the Year awards.

"It only seems fitting that State Farm is teaming up with the NABC to sponsor the All-America teams for college basketball," said NABC Executive Director Jim Haney. "The addition of this significant corporate partner can only enhance the recognition of the outstanding college athletes being honored with the most prestigious award of All-America."

The NABC has been selecting men's college basketball All-America teams for the past 62 seasons with almost 900 individuals honored in NCAA Division I alone. The first NABC All-America team was selected in 1946-47 with a first and second team for nine seasons in Division I before adding a third team in 1955-56. In Division II, NABC All-America recognition was first bestowed in 1966-67 and Division III honored teams beginning in the 1976-77 season.
