Bob Cousy Award


The Bob Cousy Award, sponsored by the College of the Holy Cross, is an annual basketball award given by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame to the top men's collegiate point guard. It is named after six-time National Basketball Association champion Bob Cousy, who played point guard for the Boston Celtics from 1950 to 1963. Cousy won all of his championships with the Celtics.
Annually, a list of players is nominated by college head coaches, members of College Sports Communicators, and members of the National Association of Basketball Coaches. A screening committee of CSC members reviews the nominations, and selects 16 players from each division. A selection committee appointed by the Hall then selects the winner. This 30-member committee is composed of Hall of Famers, head coaches, sports information directors, the media, and Cousy himself.
