In this short note we use a new way of applying von Neumann's selection theorem for obtaining best coapproximation in spaces of measurable functions. For a coproximinal closed subspace YY of a Banach space XX, we show that if YY is constrained in a weakly compactly generated dual space, then the space L1(μ,Y)L^1(\mu,Y) of YY-valued Bochner integrable functions is coproximinal in L1(μ,X)L^1(\mu,X). This extends a result of M. R. Haddadi, N. Hejazjpoor and H. Mazaheri [Some results about best coapproximation in LP(S,X)L^P(S,X), Anal. Theory Appl. 26 (2010) 69–75], proved when YY is reflexive.
