Olynyk, who is averaging 19.3 points and 7.3 rebounds in conference, becomes the 11th Gonzaga player to be selected WCC player of the year. Mark Few was named WCC coach of the year for the ninth time in his career. Senior Mike Hart was selected defensive player of the year.

DFO: Mike Hart might be my all-time favorite Gonzaga Bulldog because he wasn't a gifted offensive player. But he showed how you can contribute mightily to a program by perseverance and hustle.
Quetion: Who is your favorite all-time Zag?
