The New York Athletic Club's Winged Foot Award is among the most prestigious in the world of collegiate basketball. The Winged Foot Award honors the winning coaches of the men's and women's NCAA National Basketball Championship. The occasion is marked each year at the New York Athletic Club by an awards presentation dinner. This year’s event was well attended by the members and officers of the New York Athletic Club, the professional and collegiate sports world, the corporate community, and the media.
The recipients of this year’s awards were Roy Williams from the University of North Carolina and Kim Mulkey-Robertson of Baylor University. Williams, in his first year as the coach at North Carolina, received his first Winged Foot Award after guiding the Tar Heels to a 33-4 record and the program's fourth NCAA men's national championship. Mulkey-Robertson was also honored with her first Winged Foot Award after leading the Lady Bears to the program’s first NCAA women’s national championship.
The New York Athletic Club recognizes that the coaches are the players guides both on and off the court during a time when good role models are most important. The New York Athletic Club takes great pride in recognizing and commending the people who make such a difference in the lives of student athletes.
