Clockwise from upper left: Davis, Green, Sullinger and Robinson (not pictured: McDermott). 2011–12 NCAA Division I men's basketball season 2011 All-Americans 2013 An All-American team is an honorary sports team composed of the best amateur players of a specific season for each team position—who in turn are given the honorific "All-America" and typically referred to as "All-American athletes", or simply "All-Americans". Although the honorees generally do not compete together as a unit, the term is used in U.S. team sports to refer to players who are selected by members of the national media. Walter Camp selected the first All-America team in the early days of American football in 1889.The Michigan alumnus University of Michigan Library 2010 B0037HO8MY 495 The 2012 NCAA Men's Basketball All-Americans are honorary lists that include All-American selections from the Associated Press (AP), the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA), the Sporting News (TSN), and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) for the 2011–12 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. All selectors choose at least a first and second 5-man team. The NABC, TSN and AP choose third teams, while AP also lists honorable mention selections. The Consensus 2012 College Basketball All-American team is determined by aggregating the results of the four major All-American teams as determined by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Since United Press International was replaced by TSN in 1997, the four major selectors have been the aforementioned ones. AP has been a selector since 1948, NABC since 1957 and USBWA since 1960.http://web1.ncaa.org/web_files/stats/m_basketball_RB/2010/Awards.pdf Award Winners: Division I Consensus All-America Selections July 23, 2010 2009 National Collegiate Athletic Association To earn "consensus" status, a player must win honors based on a point system computed from the four different all-America teams. The point system consists of three points for first team, two points for second team and one point for third team. No honorable mention or fourth team or lower are used in the computation. The top five totals plus ties are first team and the next five plus ties are second team.https://www.ncaa.org/wps/portal/ncaahome?WCM_GLOBAL_CONTEXT=/ncaa/ncaa/sports+and+championship/general+information/stats/statistics+policies 2009–10 NCAA Statistics Policies(updated 9/2/2009) National Collegiate Athletic Association September 2, 2009 April 2, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100612225534/http://ncaa.org/wps/portal/ncaahome?WCM_GLOBAL_CONTEXT=/ncaa/ncaa/sports+and+championship/general+information/stats/statistics+policies June 12, 2010 dead mdy-all Although the aforementioned lists are used to determine consensus honors, there are numerous other All-American lists.
