USBWA selections

Curiously, the USBWA's website seems to have an error, listing Rick Robey instead of Michael Cooper.[1] Every news article from March 1978 that I can find confirms it was Cooper on the team.

Secondly, I don't see a source that divides the USBWA selections into first and second teams. I only see them referred to as the 10 players selected. Even that USBWA link didn't divide them. —Bagumba (talk) 11:17, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, it seems that NCAA's Men's Basketball's Finest has the 1st and 2nd team division. I've added it to the citations for the USBWA listing. Strange that none of the newspapers of the time seem to report that info. I'll leave if for someone else to determine if the NCAA is accurate here.—Bagumba (talk) 12:15, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's interesting how they use mixed hypenation (first-team all-American vs. first team all-American; same with second). I'd always use the hyphen in that context, as I was beat up by a copy editor decades ago. Dicklyon (talk) 05:57, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
