The Women’s Basketball Coaches Association WBCA announced the All-Region nominees for 2017 WBCA NCAA Division I Coaches’ All-America on Mar. 23. Five players from the American Athletic Conference received the honor. The selection committee will select the 10-member WBCA NCAA Division I Coaches’ All-America team from the 52 candidates.
The selection committee uses an equation to determine an equitable number of nominees from each region. The number of NCAA Division I institutions in each region is divided by the number of NCAA Division I institutions overall to determine a percentage for each region. This percentage is then multiplied by 52 (the total number of desired finalists) to get the number of finalists for each region.
The 2017 WBCA NCAA Division I Coaches’ All-America team will be announced Saturday, April 1 during the WBCA Convention in Dallas.
