SAN BRUNO, Calif. — Gonzaga junior Nigel Williams-Goss was named the West Coast Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year, and the Bulldogs’ Mark Few was selected as the Coach of the Year, league officials announced Tuesday.

Przemek Karnowski and Johnathan Williams of Gonzaga joined Williams-Goss on the WCC first team. Zach Collins was named to the second team and freshman team. Jordan Mathews and Josh Perkins were tabbed honorable mention All-Conference.

Few extended his own conference record, capturing his 11th Coach of the Year plaque. He was last named Coach of the Year in 2015, when the Zags went 35-3 overall and 17-1 in WCC play, and finished the season in the Elite Eight. Few has guided the Bulldogs to a 29-1 record thus far, which marks their 10th straight season with at least 25 wins. He also led GU to its fifth straight WCC regular season title.

Williams-Goss is the 14th Zag to be named the conference’s Player of the Year. Kevin Pangos was the latest in 2015. Kyle Wiltjer was the last Gonzaga player to be selected as the WCC Newcomer of the Year also in 2015.

A national finalist for the Naismith Trophy, the Oscar Robertson Award and the Wooden Award, Williams-Goss, also a Cousy Award finalist, averaged 17.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.8 steals per game during WCC play and ranks among active Division I national leaders in assists (30th/455) and turnover/assist ratio (29th/1.9). A 2014 Academic All-American while at Washington, the psychology major was selected to the WCC All-Academic First Team, while posting a 3.84 GPA.

The West Coast Conference tournament begins Friday at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.
