FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Nova Southeastern University men’s basketball program was honored for its hard work in the classroom, as the team received the National Association of Basketball Coaches Team Academic Excellence Award.
“Other than winning a national championship, this recognition may be the most important that any intercollegiate athletic team could receive,” said head coach Gary Tuell. “And it would be easy to argue that this is a higher award than a national championship. Certainly our faculty, administrators and the parents of our players would say that. I’m so very proud of our team. When you consider what they accomplished on the court and in the classroom, you can’t help but stick your chest out and be proud of the entire group.” Complete Release
