Additionally, the student-athlete must be a junior or senior and a varsity player, must have matriculated at least one year at their current institution and be a member of an NCAA Division I, II, III, or NAIA Division I or II institution.

The NABC currently has nearly 5,000 members consisting primarily of university and college men’s basketball coaches. All members of the NABC are expected to uphold the core values of being a Guardian of the Game by bringing attention to the positive aspects of the sport of basketball and the role coaches play in the academic and athletic lives of today’s student-athletes.
