Long Beach State (LBSU) sophomore T.J. Robinson has been named second-team All-District 9 by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), which announced its Division I All-District teams for 2010, recognizing the nation's best men's collegiate basketball student-athletes.
Robinson is one of just 240 student athletes from 24 districts to be honored as an All-District selection.
Robinson earned second-team recognition after leading the 49ers in scoring (15.4 points per game) and rebounding (10.1 rebounds per game). In fact, the 6-foot-8 forward finished the regular season as just one of a handful of Division I players to average a double-double while leading the Big West Conference (BWC) with 17 double-doubles. During the season, he scored more than 20 points seven times and finished with 30 double-digit scoring games and 17 double-digit rebounding games. He also led the BWC in rebounding and field goal percentage (.520) while finishing eighth in scoring.
Robinson ranks in the top 20 in the country in both rebounds per game and double-doubles. His 332 rebounds were the third most ever by a LBSU player and the most since the 1960-61 season. His 216 free-throw attempts this season are the most in school history.
All 240 student-athletes from the All-District teams are eligible for the State Farm Division I All-America teams, which will be announced on Saturday, April 3, during the NABC Convention and NCAA Final Four in Indianapolis.
In addition to his All-District honor, Robinson also earned first-team All-BWC honors this season and was a member of the BWC All-Tournament Team after helping lead the 49ers to the finals of the conference tournament.
