Adam Lane, NWIC – Coach Lane faced the toughest schedule nationally, including matchups against NCAA and minor league pro teams. His strategic leadership brought NWIC within reach of another national title, nearly repeating last year’s success.
Mike Chavez, NHSC – The season’s story isn’t told by wins alone. Coach Chavez’s NHSC team, often struggling to field enough players, demonstrated remarkable grit. They made an impressive run to the AIHEC D2 National Championship game with just five active players, showcasing their competitive spirit.
Pete Conway, UTTC – A legendary season for Coach Conway, securing the NJCAA Region XIII Championship and leading his team to the 2024 NJCAA Division II Men’s Basketball Championship. Another outstanding achievement added to his historic resume.
Shaun Little Horn, OLC – In his debut season, Coach Little Horn led OLC to its first AIHEC National Championship in 41 years, a monumental achievement especially after starting the season just four weeks before the National Tournament. This year marks a significant turnaround for OLC.
