Hoops SA Player Award

If there was to be an award given by Hoops SA in the field of basketball in this state, what should it be?

It'd be great to have a number of awards in name only (i.e., people talking and naming their favourites for a wide-variety of titles), but I think we have the opportunity to hand out a physical trophy for one award. It wouldn't be anything "official", but it'd be a bit of fun and hopefully the winner would get a kick out of it. One of the main passions of this forum is the Central ABL as the pinnacle of our club competition. The MVP from this league is already covered by another award, and I think there might be awards for U21, etc.

What award might be appropriate for this forum to allocate? Here are a couple of ideas to get people giving their suggestions or votes:

- Most accurate
- Best team man
- Best all-rounder
- Most improved
- Best defensive
- Single best game (finals or regular season)
- etc

Which of these are already covered? Do any have a cute tie-in with the forum (Least Accurate, haha, First place to hear about things, Trash-talking, etc).

Any thoughts?

My thinking is that it should be something likely to reward someone that might be missed by more official awards.

Best Hustler/Floor Soldier (someone who gets after the ball) would also be another good one.

What about a sixth man award for the Central ABL. I don't think that they have that one. The player would have had too have started on the bench for more than half the games.

In the French Soccer Leagues they have votes for the "Most Favourite Player" and "Least Favourite Player" .... ;)

Off the back of a couple of games I've seen I would like to nominate
Nathan Hawkes for the inaugural:

Crumble like chalk award.

This is given to outstanding achievement in disintegration under pressure in tight games.

He edged out other nominees:
Mike McKay (north)
Danny Kosmida (south)
Nick Hambour (north)

Congratuations to the winner of this years "What the hell is wrong with you now!? award"

The lucky reciever of this award has displayed uncanny ability to come down freakish injuries in completely random and disappointing fashion.

And the winner is.......
Paul Pochintesta!

Paul's luck has been out the window this year. Starting off with stress fractures in his foot, and having to indure pain through every game of the season, and this forced him to sit out 2 games during the season. Added to this he tore his achillies in the last game when he was primed to light up south for at least 50! Obviously he isn't irish!

This was a close race. In the end extra height allowed,
JOE INGLES

Congratulations joe!

Do you think you'll need a bag for those extra whoppers?
