Wichita State's Tyson Etienne is the American Athletic Conference Co-Player of the Year and Isaac Brown was a runaway choice for Coach of the Year, the league announced Wednesday.
In addition, WSU's Alterique Gilbert earned third team all-conference status and Ricky Council IV was named to the all-freshman team.
Both Brown and Etienne went from unlikely to unanimous choices over a span of just four months. All 10 ballots cast by opposing head coaches included Brown as coach of the year and Etienne as first team all-league.
Brown was thrust into an interim role on Nov.
