Dear Coach
I know this is a very busy time of the year for you, but we must recognize, honor, reward, and select the proper people who have had a positive impact on Vermont High School Basketball. To make sure we get the right people, you must do the following: A. You must vote. Fill out now or mark your calendar so you have it in before the February 25 deadline. If you don’t vote, you not only hurt your people but you deprive your opponents a chance for the honors they deserve. B. You must encourage your opponents to vote. Check the attached “does not belong list” (Listed on Home Page) of schools who are not members. If some of your opponents are on the list, it really hurts your team’s chances for more honors. Call them. C. Carefully fill out all of the various categories on this ballot. Let’s reward and honor all the deserving people out there. |

This is our celebration of all that is good about Vermont High School Basketball. This is where we honor the categories listed below and also induct the coaches to our VBCA Hall of Fame. Do a thorough and careful job and let’s make this a great day for Vermont basketball. Milestone Wins—A plaque to varsity coaches reaching 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 wins. Let us know if you reach a milestone. Thousand Point Scorers—Fill in the blank enclosed with confirmed or maybe 1000 point scorers. At the end of the season, call, fax, or e-mail me with the exact total to be put on a framed certificate and included on our web site. Some years we miss a thousand point scorer and it is embarrassing to tell parents their coach never told me about the 1000 pt. milestone award. 2a. Forty points scorers. This goes on our website. List points scored, player’s name, school, date, vs. what school. |

Media Award—You nominate and write your thoughts why this media person “Made Basketball Better.” The Executive Board will sort through the nominations and select the winner.
The Dream Dozen Award—We will honor the 12 best underclass boys and girls players in Division 1 and 2 and 12 more in Division 3 and 4. They receive a framed certificate at the March 19 game. You list the top 6 players you have seen—only two of yours if you feel they qualify. 5. a) The Tristan Southworth Scholarship – Awarded to a student/athlete who best mirrors the depth of character, commitment, loyalty and service to team, school, community and country. This unique individual should give us the opportunity to honor his life by making the criteria for this award only for the rare student/athlete who stands above the other exceptionally gifted players. Please consider the extraordinary nature of Tristan Southworth’s contribution to Hazen Union, Vermont, and our country. We look forward to honoring Tristan with a person who best models his quality of life at the highest level possible. Tristan was deployed to Afghanistan in early 2010 where he was killed in the line of duty. Please write a page explaining why your nominee deserves this award. 5. b) The Stretch Gillam Scholarship—This award goes to a player who has a passion for defense, loves the game, and is a good team player. The award is $750 scholarship to a male student athlete. The Tommy Finnell Outstanding Service Award—Nominate and write a one page write up of how your nominee (sub varsity coach, long time helper, manager, etc.) helps “Make Basketball Better.” A plaque will be presented.

VBCA Coach of the Year Award—A plaque presented at the March 20 game to the 4 boys and 4 girls coaches who get the most of your votes. Please vote this award. This year at least 1/3 of the division must vote or no coach will be named. Please do not vote for yourself, vote for someone in your division.
Senior All Star Game Players—You vote the top 15 players who you feel should play in our All Star Game. If you vote for a player from your team, remember to include their phone number for notification purposes. Please get the home phone # as kids don’t answer cell phones if they don’t recognize the number and are hard to contact. Your votes are how the team is picked. You must vote for at least 10 players for your ballot to be counted. Please vote for at least 10 from your group--someone you would want on your team. No more than four of your players. Vermont Basketball Coaches Association Player of the Year—Coaches vote for the player (regardless of grade or class) who they feel is the best in the state. Outstanding Official—See ballot for the nominees. |
****DEADLINE FOR ALL OF THE ABOVE IS FEBRUARY 25*****

Sincerely,
Dave Fredrickson
