It is presented to the best low-post player each season.[1] The award is named after Pete Newell, the coach who ran the Pete Newell Big Man Camp for low-post players from 1976 until his death in 2008.[2] Newell coached for 15 years at San Francisco, Michigan State, and California, compiling an overall record of 234 wins and 123 losses, including NIT and NCAA championships in 1949 and 1959, respectively.[1]
