For 30 years,
BCAM – the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan, in
association with the Detroit Free Press, has sponsored the Hal
Schram Mr. Basketball award, given to the state’s top prep senior.
Lansing Eastern’s Sam Vincent was selected in the spring of 1981 as
the recipient of the first award.
“Retro" Mr. Basketball - honoring the state's top senior prep
basketball players will span the years 1920 through 1980. The
project will evolve over the next ten seasons. This year, BCAM
honors seniors from 1920, 1930, 1940, 1950, 1960, 1970 and 1980.
Next year, the organization will honor seniors from 1921, 1931,
1941, 1951, 1961 and 1971. In 2019, the list will be complete.
As with the current honor, the goal is to focus on high school
careers. Hence, information pulled from All-State and All-Tournament
teams is used to guide the committee as they select nominees for the
award.
While gathering statistical information on players from the 1920s
and 1930s present challenges, BCAM did not want to avoid honoring
athletes from the era when the center jump was a dominate feature of
the game.
“BCAM has considered trying to go back to years previous to 1981 and
coming up with players that that would have been named Mr.
Basketball if there was such an award at the time,” notes BCAM
executive director Tom Hursey. “The Retro Mr. Basketball project
accomplishes this goal. The basketball fans of Michigan will enjoy
going back in time and either agreeing with or finding fault with
our committee’s winners. Either way it will be fun reminiscing about
days gone by.”
(Winners are listed first in ALL CAPS,
followed by those selected as nominees by the committee in
alphabetical order.)
