To Nominate a Player or Coach
|
|
|
In
order to be selected, a boys’ or girls’ coach must have had a positive
impact on high school basketball in Texas. Players selected must have
finished their high school careers 15 years previous to being selected.
The more information, the better their chances of selection. For
coaches, include their years coached, schools and record for each year,
plus any special championships or honors. For players, include varsity
seasons and appropriate statistics (points, rebounds, assists, blocks,
3 point F.G., etc.) for each year they were a varsity player, plus the
team’s record. Any other honors or interesting facts may also be
included.
We know some deserving players and
coaches have been missed, but we depend on nominations for the
committee to make the best selections. Once nominated, the player or
coaches’ information is reviewed each year.
Please send any nominations to
TABC: PO Box 2886,
Sugar Land, Texas
