The Winged Foot Award
Congratulations to the University of North Carolina's Roy Williams
and University of South Carolina's Dawn Staley, the winners of
the 2017 men's and women's Winged Foot Awards.
On Tuesday, May 16th, the NYAC honored Coach Roy Williams (UNC) and Coach Dawn Staley (USC) with the prestigious Winged Foot Award. It was a tremendous evening enjoyed by all in attendance with celebrated sportscaster Billy Packer serving as the Master of Ceremonies.
The New York Athletic Club’s Winged Foot Award is presented annually to the winning coaches of the Men’s and Women’s NCAA basketball tournaments. Established in 1996, the first recipient of the men’s award was Rick Pitino, then coach of the University of Kentucky. The first women’s award was presented in 1999 to Carolyn Peck, then of Purdue.
Coach Williams and Coach Staley were interviewed by Michael Kay on The Michael Kay Show. To listen, click here.
