Honor awarded to high school basketball players

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 .[ 1]
Voting is done by a panel of retired members that select the winner after receiving nomination information and reviewing film on each candidate.
Only those in the Senior class are eligible to win in Wisconsin.
