Chip Hilton Player of the Year Award

Chip Hilton Player of the Year Award

The Chip Hilton Player of the Year Award is presented to a men's college basketball player who is a senior and who has demonstrated personal character both on and off the court, similar to the fictional Chip Hilton character depicted by Hall of Fame coach Clair Bee in the classic Chip Hilton series of sports stories.

The NCAA has given the national award since 1997 to a Division I men’s basketball player who demonstrates outstanding character, leadership, integrity, humility, sportsmanship and talent.

Footnotes

  • a Okafor graduated as a finance major in only three years. He was a senior academically in 2003–04, but was still a junior socially and therefore had one more season of NCAA eligibility left if he had chosen to come back to Connecticut for one more season.
