The Robert V. Geasey Trophy is awarded to the most valuable men's basketball player in the Philadelphia Big 5, an informal association of college athletic programs in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. The trophy does not represent the entire regular season's most valuable player, the award goes simply to the best basketball player for Big 5 games played that season. It has been given since 1956 and is granted by the Herb Good Basketball Club, which is composed of local media members who cover the Big 5. [1] [2] The Philadelphia Big 5 includes La Salle University, the University of Pennsylvania, Saint Joseph's University, Temple University and Villanova University. [3] Through at least the 1981–82 season, the most valuable player award was sometimes also known to be presented with the Michael Saxe Trophy, [4] named after the first head coach in Villanova men's basketball history (1920–1926).

The Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award was an annual college basketball award in the United States intended to honor players who excelled on the court in spite of their height. The award, named in honor of James Naismith's daughter-in-law, was established for men in 1969 and for women in 1984. The men's award was presented to the nation's most outstanding senior who stands 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m) or shorter, while the women's award was presented to the top senior who is 5 ft 8 in (1.73 m) or shorter. Early in the women's award's history, the cut-off height was 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m). The men's award was selected by a panel from the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), while the women's was selected by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA). The award was discontinued following the 2013–14 season.
