During this clinic weekend we conduct our ***Coach & Player of the Year*** banquet in the afternoon, and our girls & boys all-star games that same evening on the same site. - We also honor milestone victories for head coaches at different levels (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900). There is a different award for each level including Junior College & 4-year coaches awards. - Our top awards are the ***King & Queen of Court*** for the top male & female player in the Sunshine State each year. - The “***Court of Legends***” **Hall of Fame** is our crown jewel honor and is located at the RMF/Lakeland Center, and it highlights the top coaches, players, and teams in Florida’s history. This special wall of honor is sponsored by Publix grocers. - We’ve developed a state-wide membership email communications system with 1,200 addresses. Changes are updated with new coaching assignments each spring and summer. These new coaching changes are posted on our website at  [fabcbasketball.net](https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fabcbasketball.net&data=02%7C01%7C%7C4a221bcf14b84b958e0208d62560ec37%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636737495533739329&sdata=ae2EGv7PSGtNIpiH8iPUyIGHVbQBFJUlUS%2BA%2FLI8%2FRQ%3D&reserved=0) - Ours is the only sports organization in Florida that compiles the overall won-loss records of both men & women basketball coaches. - Our scholarship search program is for biographies of players at all levels / that includes contact information, academic grade point average in core and overall, plus player statistics. This has been very successful - we cover 5 Southeastern states (Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Florida). This has been an extremely valuable tool in helping student-athletes - We are also in the process of bringing back our one-hour state–wide radio call-in show. It will be a 1 to 1 ½ hour show / pre-season in November & post season in March. - We have also developed a positive relationship with the Florida state high school athletic association, and are in the process of getting our starting date moved back for the girls state tournament / they want to be part of *March Madness* like the rest of the nation. ![FABC - Florida Basketball Coaches Association](https://blog.nhsbca.org/hubfs/FABC-1.png) #### Written by [FABC - Florida Basketball Coaches Association](https://blog.nhsbca.org/points-of-pride/author/fabc-florida-basketball-coaches-association) ###### [Previous Post](https://blog.nhsbca.org/points-of-pride/illinois-basketball-coaches-association-points-of-pride) [![IBCA-1](https://blog.nhsbca.org/hubfs/IBCA-1.jpg)](https://blog.nhsbca.org/points-of-pride/illinois-basketball-coaches-association-points-of-pride) ###### [Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Points of Pride](https://blog.nhsbca.org/points-of-pride/illinois-basketball-coaches-association-points-of-pride) ###### [Next Post](https://blog.nhsbca.org/points-of-pride/wibca-year-in-review) [![WIBCA-1](https://blog.nhsbca.org/hubfs/WIBCA-1.png)](https://blog.nhsbca.org/points-of-pride/wibca-year-in-review) ###### [WIBCA Year in Review](https://blog.nhsbca.org/points-of-pride/wibca-year-in-review) [![nhsbca\_circle\_White\_logo](https://blog.nhsbca.org/hs-fs/hubfs/nhsbca_circle_White_logo.png?width=75&height=75&name=nhsbca_circle_White_logo.png "nhsbca_circle_White_logo")](https://www.nhsbca.org) Copyright © 2021 NHSBCA - [About Us](https://www.nhsbca.org/about-the-nhsbca) - [Court of Honor](https://www.nhsbca.org/court-of-honors) - [NHSBCA News](https://blog.nhsbca.org/member-news) - [Member Benefits](https://www.nhsbca.org/nhsbca-member-benefits) - [Contact Us](https://www.nhsbca.org/contact-us)
