The Herb Good Basketball Club has given out some Philadelphia hoops awards, and Zack Rosen has won the Dave Zinkoff Award for Big 5 Rookie of the Year. He did not win the Ivy League equivalent. This is the second-straight year a Quakers hoopster has won the award. Last year Tyler Bernardini won it with 12.9 points, 26.7 minutes, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. Rosen's stats were arguably better (8.1 points, 31.1 minutes, 3.4 rebounds, and 5.0 assists (which led the Ivy league) per game). Previously no Penn player ever won it.
Senior Kevin Egee also won the Harry Merrill Sportsmanship Award.
In addition, Villanova coach Jay Wright won Coach of the Year, which shouldn't come as a surprise. The Big 5 Player of the Year announcement should come soon (Dionte Christmas has my vote).

Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come. I think we all need to stay positive, support each other and our love for the team.
We are all in this together. And I think the first step in the healing process is to look at some of the positives. Rosen is just a terriifc kid and is the type of go-getter we need out there.
Also Egee is quite a remarkable young man. He exudes confidence and is worthy of the recognition.
I look forward to connecting with my old friends as well as my new ones at the Town Hall meeting and the banquet.
Hoorah for the Red and the Blue
