East Coast Conference (Division I) Men's Basketball Player of the Year


The East Coast Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year was a basketball award given to the East Coast Conference's most outstanding player. The award was first given following the 1974–75 season and was discontinued after the league folded following the 1993–94 season. In 1994 the East Coast Conference was absorbed into the Mid-Continent Conference, now known as The Summit League.
There were two ties in the award's history1982 and 1987. In its first year, the ECC named Players of the Year for each division — with Wilbur Thomas of American named the East Player of the Year and Henry Horne of Lafayette winning the West award.
One player, Michael Brooks of La Salle, won the award three times and was also named the National Player of the Year by being presented the NABC Player of the Year. Two others, Michael Anderson of Drexel and Kurk Lee of Towson State, won the award twice.
