The staff at WomensHoopsWorld agrees on many basketball things, but when it came to selecting the 2022-2023 Coach of the Year, we completely diverged in making our picks. Player of the Year, on the other hand, was almost unanimous, with 75 percent of us choosing the same athlete.
Disclaimer: we made our selections 10 days ago, well before “the shot” that sent the Hawkeyes past the Hoosiers over the weekend.
Lamarr Fields:
Player of the Year: Caitlin Clark, Iowa
Clark is putting up amazing numbers, she is second in the nation in scoring with 27.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game. She is also, arguably, the team’s emotional leader: when she is on, it lifts the entire Hawkeye squad.
Coach of the Year: Lindy La Rocque, UNLV
What UNLV coach Lindy La Rocque is doing in Las Vegas is amazing. The Rebels entered AP top 25 rankings earlier this month for the first time in almost 30 years, and they claimed their second straight Mountain West title soon afterward. La Rocque, in her second season, has the team playing great basketball, and they could be dangerous in the Tournament
Avery Wiggins:
Player of the Year: Aliyah Boston, South Carolina
I acknowledge that Caitlin Clark has had the better individual season…
