The production of a Higgs boson in association with a W boson is the most l
ikely process for the discovery of a light Higgs boson at the Fermilab Teva
tron. Since it decays primarily to b-quark pairs, the principal background
for this associated Higgs boson production process is Wb(b) over bar, where
the <b(b)over bar> pair comes from the splitting of an off mass shell gluo
n. In this paper we investigate whether the spin angular correlations of th
e final state particles can be used to separate the Higgs signal from the W
b(b) over bar background. We develop a general numerical technique which al
lows one to find a spin basis optimized according to a given criterion, and
also give a new algorithm for reconstructing the W longitudinal momentum w
hich is suitable for the WH and Wb(b) over bar processes. [S0556-2821(99)07
