The Basketball Hall of Fame annually presents the following awards:
Clair Bee Award

his players' well-being. The Hilton and Bee Awards were created by Chip Hilton Sports and the NCAA Foundation in 1996 as a way to
promote positive character in the sport of basketball, a game upon which the legendary Bee had a great impact as a coach,
administrator, innovator and teacher.
