And they haven't stopped rolling in yet...

The Atlanta Tipoff Club announced today that Connecticut's Maya Moore was named winner of the 2008-09 Naismith National Player of the Year Trophy in Women's College Basketball presented by AT&T. The two-time BIG EAST Player of the Year becomes just the sixth student-athlete to win a Naismith Trophy in both high school and college, joining UConn Husky Great Diana Taurasi, Tennessee Trio of Tamika Catchings, Chamique Holdsclaw, and Candace Parker, and Southern California's Lisa Leslie. The Connecticut sophomore from Collins Hill High School in Atlanta, GA won the H.S. prep award in both 2006 and 2007.

Update: UConn Head Coach Geno Auriemma has been named the 2008-09 Naismith National Coach of the Year in Women's College Basketball (for a record 6th time).
