Legendary former UA coach Lute Olson picked up a number of national awards while he and eventual predecessor Sean Miller were named Pac-12/10 coach of the year multiple times. The Wooden Award named five finalists for its national player of the year award: Ochai Agbaji of Kansas, Johnny Davis of Wisconsin, Keegan Murray of Iowa, Oscar Tshiebwe of Kentucky and Drew Timme of Gonzaga.
