Abstract: This work presents Wigner-type quasiprobability distributions for the rigid rotator which become, in the limit h=0, coherent solutions of the classical Liouville equation known as the "action waves" of Hamilton-Jacobi theory. The results are consistent with the usual quantization of the intrinsic angular momentum, but for the expectation value of the Hamiltonian, a finite "zero point" energy term is obtained. It is shown that during the time when a quasiprobability distribution evolves according to the Liouville equation, the related quantum wave function should satisfy the time-dependent Schroedinger equation.
