Wisconsin "Mr. Basketball" Award

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Each year the Wisconsin Mr. Basketball award is given to the person chosen as the best high school boys basketball player in the U.S. state of Wisconsin, in the United States.

The award has been given since 1982. Winners are chosen by the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association at the time of their annual All-State selections. Most of the award winners have gone on to play at the highest levels of college basketball, and some have gone on to play in the National Basketball Association.

Voting is done by the members of the WBCA, each member can vote and the winner is determined by the player with the most votes. Coaches may not put votes in for players on their own team, if it is done anyway, the vote is thrown out.
