INDIANAPOLIS (USBWA) – The U.S. Basketball Writers Association has released its 2022-23 Men's All-District Teams, based on voting from its national membership. The USBWA has selected All-District teams since the 1956-57 season, its founding year.
For each of the nine geographic districts, ten players are selected as well as a player and coach of the year. Two schools – Houston (Marcus Sasser and coach Kelvin Sampson) and Purdue (Zach Edey and coach Matt Painter) – earned both the Player of the Year and Coach of the Year honors.
Twenty-three Division I conferences are represented among the 90 players honored by the USBWA with the Big Ten and SEC leading all conferences with 11 All-District players.
