The Tar Heels' Roy Williams is the Coach of the Year, Harrison Barnes is Rookie of the Year and John Henson is Defensive Player of the Year.

Smith garnered 73 out of 75 votes after leading the league with 21.6 points per game. 

It is Williams' second ACC Coach of the Year Award. After dropping 17 games last season, North Carolina became the first team in conference history to win the regular-season title after posting a losing league record the season prior.

Barnes, who is averaging 14 points per game, became the ninth Tar Heel freshman to win Rookie of the Year, the first since Brandan Wright in 2007.

Henson, a sophomore who averaged more than three blocked shots in conference games, is the fifth Tar Heel to bring the Defensive Player of the Year award back to Chapel Hill, the first since Danny Green in 2009.

Maryland center Jordan Williams received one vote for Player of the Year and two votes for Defensive Player of the Year, while Terrell Stoglin got a vote for Rookie of the Year.
