Honda Sports Award (basketball)
The Honda Sports Award for basketball is presented annually to the best women's college basketball player, as selected by a panel of more than 1,000 NCAA administrators. The award was first presented following the 1976–77 season. Four nominees are chosen annually by a panel of coaches representing the Women's Basketball Coaches Association, and the winner is chosen by the votes of administrators from every NCAA member institution, with each institution having one vote.
