honors and postseason All-Conference teams for
the 2012-13 season.

institutions, will designate approximately
24 media members who cover ACC Women’s
Basketball regularly to the panel. One at-large
member, who can be affiliated with the institution
(i.e., school radio personality or school’s
Sports Information Director) will also serve
on the panel. In addition to the 36 members,
the league’s communications office will invite
additional national and selected persons to the
panel, including ACC television broadcasters.
Finally, all 12 league head coaches will receive
one ballot to vote on preseason and postseason
accolades; however, they will not be permitted
to vote on a weekly basis or for their own
student-athletes.
Following the conclusion of the regular season,
the Blue Ribbon Panel will select a 10-member
All-ACC First Team, a five-member All-ACC
Second Team, an All-Freshman Team as well
as Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year and

also select their own 10-member All-ACC First
Team, a five-member All-ACC Second Team, an
All-Freshman Team, Player of the Year, Rookie
of the Year and Coach of the Year, as well as, the
All-Defensive Team, Defensive Player of the Year
and Sixth Player of the Year.

conducted in a press interview area designated
by the host Sports Information Director. There will
be a maximum 10-minute “cooling off” period,
at which time the first available head coach will
begin a 10-minute interview session. Should both
coaches be ready to begin their interviews at the
same time, preference for the first session should
be given to the visiting coach. The second head
coach should be ready to enter the interview area
no more than 10 minutes after the start of the first
interview. Selected players will then be made

area designated by the host Sports Information
Director.
