Fairfield's Green Selected To NABC Honors Court
FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- Caleb Green was selected to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (
NABC) Honors Court for his performance in the classroom during the 2020-21 season. The honor is bestowed upon a student-athlete who is a junior or senior with a 3.2 or higher grade-point average who has matriculated at least one year at their current institution. Green previously was named to the
CoSIDA All-District team and the D-I AAA Athletic Directors Scholar-Athlete Team earlier in the spring.
Green started all 27 games for the Stags and made an immediate impact on the program in his first year wearing a Fairfield uniform. The guard led the team with 76 assists which translated into nearly three assists per game. He was also among the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference's (
MAAC) leaders in minutes played, averaging 33.8 minutes per outing this season which placed seventh in the conference. He was also one of the team's top three-point shooter, averaging just over one per game with 28 long-range baskets. He averaged 8.6 points per game, a number that was highlighted by his 10.3 scoring average during the 2021
MAAC Basketball Championship. He is majoring in Marketing at Fairfield University.
