  • The Big East Conference Men's Basketball Rookie of the Year is a Rookie of the Year award given annually by the Big East Conference to one or more male basketball players in their first year of school. The award, like the other conference awards, is voted on by conference coaches. Coaches are not permitted to vote for players on their teams. The recipient of the award is announced at a press conference immediately preceding the Big East Men's Basketball Tournament, at the same time as the Big East Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year award and the Scholar-Athlete of the Year award. The ceremony takes place at Madison Square Garden during the tournament. The most recent award recipient was Cleveland Melvin of DePaul University. The award was introduced following the conference's first season in 1980, awarded to David Russell of St. John's. Until the 1988–89 season, the award was known as the "Freshman of the Year." Co-Rookie of the year awards have been presented twice over the course of thirty seasons: After the 2004–5 season to Rudy Gay and Jeff Green and again after the 2007–8 season to Jonny Flynn and DeJuan Blair. As such, the award has been presented thirty-two times. As only freshmen are eligible, it is impossible to win the award more than once. However, the coaches in the conference also award a Preseason Rookie of the Year to one or more players before the start of the NCAA basketball season.
