One of the most prestigious awards in journalism has been decided on and one of the biggest names in media will be receiving the award very soon. Dave Worlock will be receiving the Katha Quinn Award for his service to the media.
Worlock has worked with the NCAA since 2001 and has been their director of media coordination and statistics for the NCAA Tournament since 2013. The United States Basketball Writers Association announced he would receive the award on Monday.
“In the midst of trying times for basketball writers, Dave Worlock has been an adamant ally and advocate in the NCAA office,” said USBWA President Pat Forde of Yahoo Sports. “He heard our concerns about courtside seating and helped present them to the committee in a way they could understand and identify with. At a time when some in the NCAA didn’t want to listen, Dave did. Dave takes great pride in his work with the media. We appreciate his help in trying to maintain our presence in covering the game’s signature event.”
He has been given this award due to his work with the Final Four where he has worked by coordinating interview schedules, handling media credentials, and assigning seats at games and hotel reservations.
