From the WBCA site, women's basketball has lost a good friend: Hunter Low, often termed as the "Father of the Kodak/WBCA All-America Team", passed away on September 18, 2008, at age 75.

“What a sad day for the world of women’s basketball to lose such a strong advocate in Hunter Low,” said WBCA President Sherri Coale, head women’s basketball coach at Oklahoma. “He was a pioneer and true trailblazer for our sport. I hope that we will continue to follow his footsteps and build on the tradition that he leaves behind.”

Low worked behind the scenes years before the Kodak All-America Team began in 1975. In the early 1970's, he began his involvement in women's basketball with coaching clinics sponsored by Kodak. He was responsible for arranging an international basketball game between the USA Olympic Team and the People's Republic of China Olympic Team in Rochester, N.Y., in 1975. Low also made arrangements for the U.S. Olympic women's basketball team to train in Rochester, N.Y., prior to the 1976 Olympic games in Montreal.

You may recall a previous blog post about Kodak's early support of the women's game.
