The Basketball Coaches Association of New York named it’s “Best of BCANY” — the top 50 players from the 2011 basketball season.

Now, be forewarned: As you can read here, the players all come from schools whose coach is a BCANY. If you see a glaring omission, that could be why.

Also, I have corrected a few mistakes from the association’s website. If you see any others that need corrected, let me know.
