All-star were chosen by input from
coaches and media and LLHoops.com writers. Some excellent
players might not have made the list. .....Coach of year?
Well the old idea was it better to show improvement or take
a talented team to the top? We feel a little bit of both.
Many coaches had outstanding years in terms of progress
shown, especially in Section 3 where PV and ElCO tied for
the 2nd slot.
