The All-Pac-12 Conference men's basketball teams recognize the top players in men's basketball in the Pac-12 Conference. Established in 1955, the awards have been given annually to outstanding performers, as voted on by the league's head coaches. Initially named the All-Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) teams, they were rebranded in 1959 following the conference's reorganization as the Athletic Association of Western Universities (AAWU), later evolving into the Pac-12.[1]
