Collegiate Divisions

Eligibility. All academically eligible college women’s basketball players whose head coaches are WBCA members are eligible.

Criteria. Selection to the Coaches’ All-America team will be based on the following criteria:

  • Current season game-by-game statistics and achievements.
  • Impact on the team.
  • Success of the team.

  • Academic eligibility.

Nomination. A member head coach may nominate players from their own team only. Nominations must include an approved NCAA statistical report (i.e., Stat Crew) attached as a PDF. Nominations must be submitted online and received by the deadline. The nomination period opens in January.

Note: A head coach should receive an email confirming receipt of their nomination(s). If a coach does not receive a confirmation email, contact the WBCA Manager of Awards immediately.

Member Voting. Member head coaches vote online for Coaches’ All-America finalists (conference grouping) in NCAA DI, DII, DIII and NAIA. Head coaches may vote only for nominees within their respective division and region. The players who receive the most votes in each region become finalists for Coaches’ All-America. Nominees in the two-year college division are automatically finalists for Coaches’ All-America honors.

Selection. A committee composed of WBCA member head coaches in each respective division selects the 10-member Coaches’ All-America team from the finalists in that division. Finalists not selected to the team receive honorable mention recognition.

  • Current season statistics and achievements.
  • Impact on the team.
  • Success of the team.
