NABC

The National Association of Basketball Coaches announced their Division I All‐District teams on March 14, recognizing the nation’s best men’s collegiate basketball student-athletes. Selected and voted on by member coaches of the NABC, 240 student-athletes, from 24 districts were chosen. The selection on this list were then eligible for the State Farm Coaches’ Division I All-America teams. The following list represented the Big Ten players chosen to the list.^[55] Since the Big Ten Conference was its own district, this is equivalent to being named All-Big Ten by the NABC.^[56]

Draymond Green Michigan State
Jared Sullinger Ohio State
Jordan Taylor Wisconsin
William Buford Ohio State
John Shurna Northwestern

National postseason honors

Sullinger and Green were first team 2012 NCAA Men's Basketball All-Americans by The Sporting News, while Zeller was a member of their All-Freshman team.^[58] Green and Sullinger were also first team All-American selections by the United States Basketball Writers Association.^[59] On March 20, the NABC chose Green and Sullinger as a first team All-Americans.^[60] Sullinger and Green were named first team Associated Press All-Americans, making them unanimous first team selections. Trey Burke, Robbie Hummel, Jordan Taylor, John Shurna, and Cody Zeller were honorable mention selections.^[61] Hummel was named the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award winner.^[62] Aaron Craft won the Elite 89 Award.^[63]^[64] Green was named the NABC Player of the Year.^[65] 41 men's basketball players in their second year or beayond earned Academic All-Big Ten recognition for carrying a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher.^[66]

CBSSports.com used a modified selection process that resulted in Green being named a first team All-American, while Sullinger and Burke were second team selections. The process derided the traditional basketball All-American process of nameing the best players and was modelled on the All-Pro or NHL All-Star Team formula of choosing the best players by position.^[67] Shurna was also selected to participate in the NABC 2012 Reese's Division I All-Star Game at the 2012 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament final four.^[68]
