History
All-America teams in women's college basketball were first selected upon the conclusion of the 1974–75 season by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA).[1] Through the 1981–82 season no divisional classifications existed – players from all collegiate teams were eligible for the honor.[1] In 1982–83 the NCAA divided the All-America teams into University Division (present day Division I) and College Division (present day Division II and III).[1] Since 1983–84, all three NCAA Divisions have been recognized with their own All-America teams.[1][2]
