 The Ken Wright Memorial Coaching Award
Ken Wright was one of the original founders of the BCHSBBA in 1946 and played a key role in the development of our Association and Provincial Tournament until his passing in 1996. From the outset, he enthusiastically supported and aided in the development of high school basketball and coaching programs in our Province. Of great interest to him was the development of sportsmanship along with the pursuit of excellence by the coaches and players associated with the game. The Wright Family Trust presents this award with assistance from our Association, in the hope that every school will seek to achieve the high ideals and dreams that Ken wished to see developed in high school basketball.
The award will be given to a coach, in our Association, in the name of the high school, who has improved and developed in the school’s basketball program to be competitive at the local, regional, and provincial level. An individual plaque will be presented to the coach in recognition of his/her commitment to and development of basketball in their school.
 

Nomination Process
A committee made up of members from the Executive of the BCHSBBA will determine the selection of this award. Coaches and Executive members of the BCHSBBA may make nominations.
