NJIT Basketball Alumnus Tim Coleman Shining in Luxembourg
Former NJIT basketball star Tim Coleman '17 is representing the Highlanders program with flying colors. This past week, he was named Interperformances Player of the Week of the Total League for his performance with Etzella in Luxembourg.
The Union, N.J., native notched 32 points and 10 rebounds in an 88-68 win over Sparta (3-4).
In fact, Coleman is leading the league at 29.3 ppg. In the process, the 24-year-old product of St. Anthony's High School has guided Etzella to a 6-1 record and a second-place standing in the early stages of the season.
Coleman finished his NCAA with 1,439 career points, which ranks fourth all-time at NJIT, and 762 rebounds, which ranked 41st among active Division-I leaders upon the completion of his senior season. He became the sixth member of NJIT's D-I 1,000-point club vs. Army on March 16, 2016.
He is also the only player in NJIT history to average better than 1.0 block and 1.0 steal per game for a season -- a feat he accomplished three times (2013-14, 2014-15, 2016-17).
