Dean Nakagawa Quotations

Overton being a top player is a no-brainer. He played at a real high level this year. He's not a real big rah-rah guy, just a quiet kid who went about his job. Championship teams are built upon guys like him. A lot of guys deserved it, but you can't go wrong with him as player of the year.

I think that's part of who he is, a very humble kid. He works hard, does a lot of good things, a lot of things right. He's an example of if you do things right, what can happen. He's the ultimate team player.

If you beat Saint Louis three times in one year, then you got to be coach of the year.

Him not wanting to be in the spotlight, that's his nature, and that's why he's well-liked by his teammates.
