Hofstra University head men's basketball coach Speedy
Claxton was
named the CAA Coach of the Year and senior guard Aaron Estrada was
named the CAA Player of the Year for the second consecutive season.
Claxton and Estrada join four members of the program honored
today with the release of the postseason awards.
The awards are voted on by the league's 13 head coaches.
Joining Claxton and Estrada in earning postseason honors
from the league were senior guard Tyler Thomas on the All-CAA Second Team, and
sophomore guard Jaquan Carlos picking up CAA All-Defensive Team accolades.
Estrada captured CAA Player of the Year honors in
back-to-back years, marking the third Hofstra player to win the honor in
consecutive seasons.
Claxton becomes Hofstra's second-ever CAA Coach of the Year
honoree after Joe Mihalich received the award in 2019. Prior to Mihalich, the
last Hofstra coach to earn a conference's coach of the year award was Jay
Wright in 2000 and 2001 from the America East Conference.
