No first-year jitters here.

Oregon’s frosh playoff hero Damyean Dotson was honored Monday by being named to the 2013 Kyle Macy Freshman All-America team after averaging 16.0 points in the Ducks’ postseason run to the Sweet Sixteen. The Houston native finished second on the team behind senior E.J. Singler in both minutes played (27.9) and points per game (11.4) over the course of the season.

Per the athletic department’s press release, Dotson is now a candidate for the Kyle Macy Award, presented annually to the nation’s best frosh player. The award will be announced April 5.

His coach also has an opportunity to add some hardware to his trophy case. After winning the conference’s Coach of the Year award earlier this season, head coach Dana Altman has been named a candidate for the 2013 John McLendon National Coach of the Year award.

Altman, a Crete, Nebraska native, is no stranger to COY awards — he has already won such honors in four different conferences, including this year’s Pac-12 iteration.

The release continues:

Altman, who just completed his third year at the helm of the men’s basketball program in Eugene, guided the Ducks to a 28-9 overall mark – the fourth-most wins in a single season in UO history. The first Oregon head coach to post three straight 20-win seasons since the legendary Howard Hobson led the “Tall Firs” to four straight campaigns from 1935-39, Altman’s 2012-13 team became just the sixth UO squad to reach an NCAA Regional Semifinal.
