KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) announced today the 2018 NABC Coaches' Division I All-America teams, as senior center Jock Landale was named an All-American Second Team member for his historic senior campaign.
Selected and voted on by member coaches of the NABC, a total of 15 student-athletes were picked to represent the finest basketball players across America.
Currently averaging 21.3 points, 10.1 rebounds and shooting 64.2 percent from the floor, Landale has led the Gaels to their first 30-win season in program history.
The senior's 745 points and 294 made field-goals sets the record for most ever by a Gael in a single season. The historic feat was last held by Omar Samhan's 2009-10 campaign where he scored 724 points on 282 field-goals.

About the National Association of Basketball Coaches
Located in Kansas City, MO, the NABC was founded in 1927 by Forrest "Phog" Allen, the legendary basketball coach at the University of Kansas. Allen, a student of James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, organized coaches into this collective group to serve as Guardians of the Game. The NABC currently has nearly 5,000 members consisting primarily of university and college men's basketball coaches. All members of the NABC are expected to uphold the core values of being a Guardian of the Game by bringing attention to the positive aspects of the sport of basketball and the role coaches play in the academic and athletic lives of today's student-athletes. The four core values of being a Guardian of the Game are advocacy, leadership, service and education. Additional information about the NABC, its programs and membership, can be found at www.nabc.org.
