To the victors go the spoils.

Two days after winning its first outright Pac-10 title in school history — and first outright conference title of any kind since winning the Pacific Coast Conference in 1953 — the Washington men’s basketball team received accolades to match.

Lorenzo Romar was named as the conference’s Coach of the Year. Jon Brockman and Justin Dentmon were both named first team all-conference; Dentmon also took home the Pac-10’s Most Improved Player award.

Isaiah Thomas, the Huskies’ leading scorer, was honored as the conference’s Freshman of the Year, and garnered second team all-conference honors. And Venoy Overton was named as an all-defensive-team honorable mention selection.

The Coach of the Year honor is Romar’s second. He also won it in 2005, when the Huskies earned a No. 1 seed and advanced to the Sweet 16.

When asked if he expected it, Romar replied, “I didn’t know. I really didn’t know.”

Romar called the award a “good compliment,” but was clearly pleased the most by Dentmon’s naming to the all-conference team.

That’s understandable. Dentmon followed a promising freshman season with two years of frustrating inconsistency, drawing more criticism than praise from Husky fans while the UW failed to make the NCAA Tournament.

But the 5-foot-11 guard from Carbondale, Ill. turned in a senior season worthy of consideration for Player of the Year honors: he finished second on the team in scoring at 15.3 points per game and led the UW in 3-point shooting.

He’s 13th on the UW’s all-time scoring list, second in career steals and third in career assists.

“That right there hit me,” Romar said of seeing Dentmon’s name among the first-teamers. “I’d trade my Coach of the Year award for him being all-conference any day of the week.”

Dentmon said it all comes as a byproduct of the season the Huskies have had.

“It just came with the team winning,” Dentmon said. “I think if we were losing you probably wouldn’t see me on that all-conference team.”

If any complaint can be made by Husky fans about the honors — voted on by Pac-10 coaches — it’s that ASU star James Harden, who led the conference in scoring at 20.8 points per game, took home Player of the Year instead of Brockman, who Romar had touted more than once as deserving of such recognition.

But Romar had no qualms with it, and neither did Brockman.

“James is deserving of it in every single way,” Brockman said. “He’s definitely the best player in this league in my mind. I didn’t think I was going to get it.”
