The Lou Henson Award is presented annually to the nation's top mid-major player in Division I college basketball. Lou Henson coached for 41 years and accrued the sixth-most Division I career wins (779). He is the winningest coach at both Illinois and New Mexico State. He is one of only 12 coaches in the history of the game to take two schools to the Final Four.
