NABC Tabs 25 with All-District Honors

ROSEMONT, Ill. – On Tuesday, the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) announced its 2025-26 NABC Division I All-District Teams and District Coaches of the Year. The All-District honors are voted on by NABC-member coaches across NCAA Division I.

Among the honorees were 25 student-athletes and coaches from 15 Big Ten schools, including Nebraska head coach Fred Hoiberg and Michigan head coach Dusty May, who were named Central and Great Lakes District Coaches of the Year, respectively.

The NABC introduced a new model for its Division I district alignment last season, with schools arranged by state rather than by conference. The modernized NABC Division I district alignment features 10 geographic regions that each encompass multiple states. Every Division I school in each given state belongs to that state’s corresponding district.
