The John Wooden Legacy Award is given by the National High School Basketball Coaches Association (NHSBCA) to a coach that is either active, retired, or it may be awarded posthumously. The coach must demonstrate excellence on the court, in the classroom and in the community. The coach was/is an Educator (Teacher, Paraprofessional, Administrator, Athletic Director, or other school personnel). The coach should also continue to give back to the game of basketball and embody the characteristics of John Wooden.
