There are a number of awards, voting houses and different entities that hand out college basketball honors every year. Here on the digital side of CBS Sports, we’ve been contributing to these national decorations for more than two decades.
With that in mind, we thought it best to publish an archive of how CBSSports.com’s college basketball staff has voted on national player of the year, coach of the year, freshman of the year and its All-America teams dating back to the mid-2000s. (The pre-2005 honors may well be lost in the internet ether.)
This living archive will get updated with postseason honors with every subsequent season. Have you ever wanted a quick reference to a specific season and which players were the standouts? We have you covered. Keep in mind, this is specific to CBS Sports; it does not include the likes of the United States Basketball Writers Association, Naismith, Associated Press or Wooden Awards. If you’re looking for the history of all All-America teams dating back to the 1940s, Sports Reference has it right here.
Notably, CBS Sports is proud to be the only mainstream outlet to have a longstanding policy of voting on its college basketball honors during the week of the Final Four, rather than at the end of the regular season or just before the start of the NCAA Tournament. In doing so, NCAA Tournament performance is taken into account, but not fully, as our awards are determined after the conclusion of the Elite Eight.
Here is a master list of every major recipient of CBS Sports’ men’s basketball awards dating back to the 2006-07 season.
