How does Rookie of the year work? Some of those girls (if not all, i'm not sure) have played seasons before with the AIS?

While we're at it, how does Coach of the Year work?
Shouldn't a nominee for it have a better record than 8-16?

Lucas or Harrower would both be worthy winners IMO.

It's very hard to go past the championship coach though, especially when his team was widely picked to not even make the playoffs. Bendigo was an amazing team all season and it was due to great team play rather than because they were stacked with talent.

I also love what Lucas achieved with the Fire. Tremendous job that was really highlighted by his team's run through the playoffs.
... which leads me to this question: when were the WNBL awards actually voted for?
