Players of the week
Throughout the conference season, the ACC offices name a player and rookie of the week. North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough broke the ACC single-season record for player of the week honors during the 2007–08 season with eight awards. The record had previously been seven, held by J. J. Redick and Antawn Jamison. The MVP of the ACC Tournament is the automatic winner of the final ACC player of the week of each season.
Conference honors
ACC Conference awards were handed out at the conclusion of the regular season. Tyler Hansbrough was the unanimous choice for ACC player of the year, while Virginia Tech's Seth Greenberg won conference Coach of the Year honors for guiding the Hokies to a fourth-place finish after being picked tenth in the preseason. Duke swept the remaining individual honors as Kyle Singler and DeMarcus Nelson won Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year respectively.
