University of Maine football coach Jack Cosgrove and Black Bears men’s basketball standout Errick Greene have been selected for honors in their respective sports.

Cosgrove has been named the American Football Monthly magazine’s 2001 Schutt Sports Coach of the Year for Division I-AA. The Bears’ 10th-year boss directed UMaine to a 9-3 record last season, including the program’s first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance and postseason victory at McNeese State.

Cosgrove also was named the Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year as UMaine shared the league regular-season title. He was a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award given to the nation’s best I-AA coach.

Greene, a 6-foot-3 guard, was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches/Pontiac Division I All-District Team for District 1.

Greene is a second-team pick. The senior captain from Killeen, Texas, scored a season-high 45 points against Norfolk State on Dec. 11, and is averaging 17.5 points and 6.0 rebounds per game.

The first team consists of Troy Bell and Ryan Sidney of Boston College, former Maine Central Institute star Caron Butler of Connecticut, John Linehan of Providence and T.J. Sorrentine of Vermont.

Greene is joined on the second team by Earl Hunt of Brown, Corsely Edwards of Central Connecticut, Emeka Okafor of Connecticut and Patrick Harvey of Brown.

The NABC honors 10 All-District players in each of 15 districts.
