The N.C. Basketball Coaches Association has released its all-district teams from the 2023-24 season.

For players to make the teams, the coach must be an NCBCA member.

The NCBCA will release its all-state teams after the playing of the N.C. High School Athletic Association championships this week.

Each district has a certain number of counties, and each one has about the same number of NCHSAA members.

Coaches in each district who are members of the NCBCA submit votes to determine who makes all-district teams. They are the only ones who submit votes.

The top voter-getter in each region is named the Player of the Year in the region. A Coach of the Year is also named for each region.
