In 2006 the Nebraska Coaches Association decided to present separate awards for girls and boys basketball. The award is presented to the coach exemplifying outstanding contributions to girls’ basketball in the state of Nebraska. In 2017, the NCA Board of Directors changed the title of the award to recognize the career and service of Ken Cook, Adams.
