In February 2002, with the help of former Emory Sports Information Director John Arenberg, we released our first all-region awards to honor the top players in each of Division III's eight regions. We added regional awards for Player and Coach of the Year in 2005-06 and then added regional Rookie of the Year honors two seasons later. Since 2002, we've honored thousands of players across hundreds of teams and now we're providing you with a database to search and sort those recipients.
Note: This has been updated through the end of the 2025-26 season
Download archive
The archive is a large Excel spreadsheet that you can download, sort, and analyze at will. The default view lists selections in reverse chronological order but, using Excel's sort feature, you can organize them anyway you want. If you're not comfortable with Excel and accidentally mess something up, no worries -- just download the file and try again.

The structure for these awards has been mostly consistent since our first release more than 20 years ago.
Players are nominated by their schools' Sports Information Directors (SIDs). A panel of SIDs and media members cast ballots to select the top players in their region, and D3hoops staff tally the votes and make adjustments to ensure positional balance.
Regions may have two, three or even four all-region teams depending on the number of schools competing in that region, and that number changes with conference reallignment.
There have been other changes over the two-plus decades we've released these awards.
In 2021-22, the NCAA switched from eight geographically titled regions to the current 10-region numerically-titled structure. You'll find honorees from both eras in this database, as well as separate sections with the Player, Rookie, and Coach of the Year honorees.
In 2003, we named a handful of players Honorable Mention all-region since they had enough votes to qualify but there were already enough players selected at that position to fill out two or three teams. If you search through the database, you'll notice that guards now account for more selections, especially as more players are designated guards, wings or guard/forwards in modern college basketball. And you'll find some schools with honorees that have since left NCAA Division III.
Here are some historical notes.
Help us solve a mystery!
Somewhere along the way, we lost the list of Northeast All-Region selections for 2007. We've pieced together a few selections, including the Player and Coach of the Year honorees, but we're missing the full list. If you have information on who's missing, please email Gordon Mann at gordon.mann@d3sports.com to help us completed our archives.
From player to coach
We've covered this level long enough to watch some of Division III's top players become the Division's top coaches. On the women's side, seven individuals were first-team All-Region as players and then later earned Regional Coach of the Year honors. Just two people have achieved that feat on the men's side.
| Colin Tabb - Western New England '25 (COY) and Trinity (Conn.) '02 |
| Stefan Thompson - Hobart '20 (COY) and Hobart '13 |
Three-time Regional POY winners
| Joey Flannery, Babson (2015-17) |
| Kent Raymond, Wheaton (Ill.) (2007-09) |
| Ryan Turrell, Yeshiva (2020-22) |
Most Regional POY winners
Wheaton (Ill.) has had the most Regional Player of the Year honors and nearly double the amount held by Guilford and New York University, which have the second most with five each.
| 9 | Wheaton (Ill.): Nyameye Adom, Tyler Cruickshank, Aston Francis (2x), Tim McCrary, Tyler Peters, Kent Raymond (3x) |
Seven schools - Carthage, Hartwick, MIT, New Jersey City, North Central (Ill.), St. Mary's (Md.), and Wooster -- share the distinction of the most regional Rookies of the Year with three each.
Most All-Region selections
Wooster leads the list of teams with the most all-region selections (Rookies of the Year not included). The Scots have had 32 honors distributed across 18 players, four of whom made the team three times. Hope and Whitworth have the most unique all-region selections with 19 each.

Three or more regional COY honors
We started awarding regional Coach of the Year honors at the end of the 2006-07 season, and nine coaches have won the award at least three times. Former Swarthmore head coach Landry Kosmalski has the most honors. Only two of these coaches-- Luke Flockerzi and Jeff Gard -- currently lead Division III programs.
