KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The National Association of Basketball Coaches announced their NABC Honors Court winners and 2013 graduate Lance Greene (Dorchester, Mass.), rising graduate student Lachlan Magee (Melbourne, Australia), and rising senior Tyler Burkhart (Cromwell, Conn.) were listed alongside over 700 student-athletes from 285 college and universities across the country.
The NABC Honors Court recognizes talented men's basketball student-athletes who reach a high standard of academic criteria by being a junior or senior varsity player, possessing a cumulated GPA of 3.2 or higher at the conclusion of the 2012-13 academic year, having matriculated at least one year at their current institution, and be a member of a NCAA Division I, II, III, or NAIA Division I or II institution.
Greene graduated with a degree in Sport Management from Endicott this past May after finishing his career among the program's all-time leaders in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, games and minutes played. He was a four-time All-CCC honoree and was given special recognition as the CCC Senior Scholar-Athlete of the Year this past February. Greene has completed numerous internships and participating in professional development opportunities such as the NCAA's Career in Sports Forum as well as the Youth Sport Trust program.
Magee, despite missing several games in the middle of the season due to injury, finished the year among the team leaders in scoring (13.3 ppg), rebounding (4.2 rpg), and assists (2.6 apg). His academic standing through his first three seasons at Endicott have been outstanding as he holds the highest cumulative GPA on the team. Magee, a Business major with a concentration in Finance, is a member of Sigma Beta Delta and the Endicott Scholars Program and has completed three internships while at Endicott.
Burkhart has battle injuries throughout his time wearing the Blue and Green and the 2012-13 season was no different with only five games played and one start. Burkhart's impact on the team, however, was unwavering as he, along with Greene and Magee, were named captains. The junior Business major completed an internship with Nationwide Insurance while maintaining a solid cumulative GPA.
