Coleman is the only player from the USA conference to be ranked among the four best players in scoring and rebounds in the league. Coleman prides in taking part in thirteen games with twenty points and three posted matches. He also becomes the sixteenth player from the University of Houston to make a score of thirty points in three different seasons.



Besides from being the top player in conference USA with a record of 2.52 steals per game, Coleman is also among the top nine players in the league for both defensive and offensive sides, because he can play from both sides of the floor.

The list of awards for Coleman is indeed endless. For two seasons in a row, he has been named player of the week and was crowned with C-USA rookie with five honors. He was voted by coaches of the NABC to the ten member conference USA players.

As an activity for the 2009 NABC Convention, those who were named as members of the eleven districts can now take part in the State Farm Coaches' Division I All-America teams which will be announced on the fourth of April at Hoop City in Detroit's COBO Center.

Those that were named on the second team include, Antonio Anderson, Robert dozier and Tyreke Evans from Memphis, Jerome Jordan, Ben Uzoh and Stefon Jackson of Tulsa and Jermaine Taylor of UCF and Paul Delaney and Robert Vaden of USB.

This is even after the fate of Coleman lied in the hands NCAA after the incident where he attacked an Arizona player. Several people had called for action to be taken against him for stepping chase in the face. Chase budinger suffered humiliation in front of fans when Coleman stepped right in his face as he tried to dribble the ball across the half court line.

Despite of Coleman apologizing, many still believe that he should have been suspended for the whole season. Mixed reactions continue to emerge though others say the punishment where he was sent off before full time is not enough because he took time to apologise.

Head coach Tom Penders was the first one to apologise for Coleman's actions saying, the officials overreacted. Many people doubt Coleman's apology because he took long to account for his action.

According to the video that replayed what transpired, Coleman intentionally stepped budinger's face after the referee blew the whistle and surprisingly was applauded by his team mates.

Among the disciplinary measures suggested by people include, Coleman being suspended for the whole season, missing ten games, being kicked out of NCAA permanently and others feel his send off during the game was enough punishment.

The NCAA remains in debt to many fans that wait to see what decision it will make concerning the incident which many viewed as racism.
