All Americans, Postseason awards and final poll

These are the All-America teams and postseason awards that I sent to the Associated Press today, as well as my final poll.
Player of the Year and first team All-American: Andrew Bogut, Utah


Hakim Warrick, Syracuse


Dee Brown, Illinois


Chris Paul, Wake Forest


Ike Diogu, Arizona State


Second team: Francisco Garcia, Louisville, Salim Stoudamire, Arizona, J.J. Redick, Duke, Wayne Simien, Kansas, Luther Head, Illinois
Third team: Joey Graham, Oklahoma State, Sean May, North Carolina, John Lucas Jr., Oklahoma State, Craig Smith, Boston College, Ray Felton, North Carolina

Coach of the Year: Bruce Weber, Illinois



Al Skinner was my coach of the year for most of the season, but the Eagles' recent collapse pushed me toward Weber. I strongly considered Seth Greenburg, whose Virginia Tech team exceded all expectations.

My Final Poll looks like this:

1. Illinois
IllinoisNo.1
2. Oklahoma State
3. North Carolina

5. Louisville
6. Wake Forest
7. Kentucky
