KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) announced the 2022-23 NABC Coaches' Division III All-District teams and coaches Tuesday, recognizing the best men's collegiate basketball student-athletes and coaches in the division.
University of St. Thomas’ Calvin Williams IV earned First-Team District 10 All-District honors and his head coach, Anthony Medina was selected as the District 10 Coach of the Year.
Williams IV, sophomore guard from Spring, Texas was named the SCAC Player of the Year and earned four conference Player of the Week honors this season. He played and started in all 27 games for the Celts, averaging 15.1 points per game (fourth in the SCAC) which included a conference-best 17.3 points per game in league play. He is also among the conference leaders in steals (50 – second), points (407 – third) and assists (63 – ninth). Williams scored in double figures in 14 games during the regular season, and he had eight games where he topped 20 points, including the Feb. 4 game against Dallas where he had a season-high 27 points to lead St. Thomas to a 65-62 come-from-behind victory – a victory that clinched the regular season conference title for the Celts.
Earlier this week, Williams IV also earned D3Hoops.com First-Team Region 10 All-Region honors.
In his eighth season at St. Thomas, head coach Anthony Medina has compiled a 142-74 record (.657), which includes this year’s squad that went a perfect 16-0 in league play and made its debut appearance in the Division III NCAA Tournament. The Celts are the first men’s team to post an undefeated conference mark (and just the second all-time) since the Centre College men went 14-0 in 2007-08. A UST grad and just the second head coach in program history, Medina has quickly established his program as a conference force as St. Thomas has won the regular season title three of the last four years.
