Another honor for Natesan

"Gokul (Cupertino High) Natesan has picked up his second all-region award of the postseason, this time from the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

Natesan landed on the NABC's All-South Central Second Team after the Colorado School of Mines guard had a standout 2015-16 season to lead the Orediggers to the NCAA Tournament. He was also a First-Team D2CCA All-Region pick earlier this month.

It's the latest in a series of honors for Natesan this season that has included RMAC Defensive Player of the Year and First-Team All-RMAC. The junior averaged 20.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.1 steals per game to lead Mines (24-8) to the RMAC Tournament title game and an NCAA Tournament appearance. He was a member of the RMAC Shootout All-Tournament Team.

Off the court, Natesan's classroom performance earned him First-Team Academic All-America and RMAC Academic Player of the Year and First-Team Academic All-RMAC honors.

The NABC awards are selected and voted on by the member coaches in NCAA Division II."
