Coulthard played for York University for five seasons from 1977 to 1982. [1] [10] Coulthard was named an All-Canadian in each of these five seasons, once as a Second Team All-Canadian (1978) and four times as a First Team All-Canadian (1979, 1980, 1981, 1982). [1] [2] [3] Only one other athlete in Canadian university basketball history, John Carson, was a five-time All Canadian, with Carson being the only five-time First Team All-Canadian. [1] [2] [3] Besides Coulthard and Carson, only four other athletes were four-time First Team All-Canadians: Karl Tilleman, Byron Tokarchuk, John Stiefelmeyer and Philip Scrubb. [1] [2] [3] And besides these athletes, only 8 have been four-time All-Canadians overall (First or Second Team): Rod Dean, Mickey Fox, J.D. Jackson, Tim Mau, Titus Channer, Charles Fortier, Andrew Spagrud and Tyson Hinz. [1] [2] [3]
Coulthard also received the Mike Moser trophy as the CIAU's Most Outstanding Player twice (1979, 1981), the first athlete to accomplish this feat. [5] [6] [10] For context, only seven other athletes have since achieved this feat: Karl Tilleman (1982, 1983), Patrick Jebbison (1988, 1989), J.D. Jackson (1991, 1992), Eric Hinrichsen (1997, 1999), Osvaldo Jeanty (2006, 2007), Philip Scrubb (2012, 2013, 2014) and Kadre Gray (2018, 2019). [5] [6]
Coulthard was named a CIAU tournament all-star twice (1978, 1980). [10] [11] [12] He was named the OUA East Conference MVP twice (1981, 1982), an OUA East First Team All-star five times (1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982) and MVP of the OUA tournament (1978). [10] Coulthard was also named York's male athlete of the year twice (1980, 1982). [4] [10] [13]
Under Coulthard's leadership, the York Lions also performed well. They obtained a third-place finish in the CIAU tournament twice (1978, 1979), another CIAU top 8 placement (1982) and were OUA Conference champions four times. [10] [13]
