Diego for DPOY

Good call. Definitely should be on the all-defensive team. Hawkins and Carroll are both pretty good too!

Similar to the Geiman v. Hudgins thread, just goes to show the coaches look at more than just the counting stats when making these decisions.

2 years ago (as a FR) he guarded the really good guard from St. Anselm in the Final 4. DB sat out the game before with a leg injury. After the game the St. Anselm player told DB he was the best defensive player he had ever played against and that was as a FR with a leg injury.

Very deserving and he can guard multiple positions. He is tough on guards and can guard someone quite a bit bigger as well.

I used to play in a men's league with a guy that would look where he was passing but he had trained himself to look away as he passed the ball. It was part of his passing motion, as his hands went one way his head went the other. He wasn't on our team so we didn't bother to tell him he wasn't fooling anyone.
