- Kelsey Plum (Washington)
- Jamie Weisner (Oregon State)
- Moriah Jefferson (Connecticut)

- Morgan Tuck (Connecticut)
The rest of the team:
- Nina Davis (Baylor)

The 10-member team was decided from a group of 52 finalists by a selection committee at an in-person meeting held during the 2016 WBCA National Convention.
“The 10 members of the 2016 WBCA NCAA Division I Coaches’ All-America Team are well deserving of this recognition, and the WBCA congratulates them for their accomplishments this season,” said WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew. “These young women have worked to elevate themselves and their teams to an elite level and through their exceptional talents on the basketball court, they have lifted the women’s game.”
This is the 42nd year of the WBCA Coaches’ All-America program, which began in 1975. Once again all 10 members of the team were present to be honored in person during the ceremony. Remarkably, in the 42-year history of the program, none of the 420 Coaches’ All-Americans thus far honored have failed to appear for the announcement.
