The Big East Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Year award is given to the women's basketball player in the Big East Conference voted as the top performer by the conference coaches. It was first awarded by the original Big East Conference at the end of the 1982–83 season. When the conference split along football lines in 2013, the seven schools of the original Big East that did not play FBS football joined with three other schools and formed a new Big East Conference, with the FBS schools remaining in the former Big East structure under the new name of American Athletic Conference (The American). The head coaches of the league's teams submit their votes following the end of the regular season and before the conference's tournament in early March. The coaches cannot vote for their own players.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Three UConn Women on All Big East Team )〕 The Big East Conference is a college athletic conference made up of several universities. The name came about because the teams that founded the original conference were located in the eastern half of the United States, mostly in major urban areas. The award was introduced following the 1982–83 season, the first season that women's basketball was under the purview of the Big East. The first award went to Debbie Beckford of St. John's. There have been five multiple winners so far. Rebecca Lobo and Diana Taurasi, both of Connecticut, each won the award twice in their careers. Shelly Pennefather of Villanova and two UConn players, Kerry Bascom and Maya Moore, were each three-time winners. Uniquely, Moore's wins were not all consecutive, as she lost out to her UConn teammate Tina Charles in 2009–10. The voting resulted in a tie once so far, in 1984 when both Jennifer Bruce and Kathy Finn won the award. Seven players have also won National Player of the Year awards. Rebecca Lobo, Ruth Riley, Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, and Maya Moore are all recipients of the Naismith College Player of the Year award. Shelly Pennefather, Lobo, Jennifer Rizzotti, Bird, Taurasi, and Moore are all recipients of the Wade Trophy. Moore is also a recipient of the John R. Wooden Award. == Key == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Big East Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Year」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
