For Moore
The Naismith
Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts recently
announced the final 11 candidates in consideration for the 2010 Bob Cousy Award
presented by The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.
This annual
award is given to college basketball's top point guard and is named after Hall
of Famer and former Boston Celtics' guard Bob Cousy. Siena's
Ronald
Moore, who leads the nation in assists, was one of the 11 finalists.An
original list of 73 candidates made up of players from Division I, II and III
schools was trimmed by a Hall of Fame appointed, nationally based committee to
20 and has now narrowed that list to a final 11.
"This
final list of 11 players represents the cream of the crop in college basketball
at the point guard position," said John L. Doleva, President and CEO of
the Basketball Hall of Fame. "We look forward to recognizing the nation's
top college basketball point guard and wish all the candidates best of
luck."
"We are
proud to be a part of a growing tradition at the Basketball Hall of Fame and
congratulate this year's Bob Cousy Award finalists. This award promotes the
values of leadership, vision, teamwork and integrity, skills that are not only
needed on the
basketball
court but also in life," said Mike Concannon, executive vice president of
sales and distribution at The Hartford. "These values are shared by The
Hartford and reflect the high standards set by Mr. Cousy to inspire people on
and off the court to achieve what is ahead of them."
Beginning
February 5, via the Bob Cousy Award's website -
www.cousyaward.com - fans will be able to
vote for the top point guard. The player that receives the most fan votes will
receive one vote toward the final committee vote. Fan voting will run one month
- beginning February 5 and will conclude March 5.
The
current listing of 11 finalists for the 2010 Bob Cousy Award presented by The
Hartford will be narrowed down to five players by March 1st. The final five
players in contention for the award will be presented to Mr. Cousy and the Hall
of Fame's selection committee. These Hall of Fame committees are made up of top
college basketball personnel including media members, head coaches, Sports
Information Directors and Hall of Famers. The winner of the 2010 Bob Cousy
Award presented by The Hartford will be awarded at the Hall of Fame's Class
Announcement on Monday April 5th in Indianapolis as part of NCAA Final Four
weekend.
