During the postseason, he was a part of Houston's team during the 2009 College Basketball Invitational. His season was marred by an incident in January, 2009 in a game against Arizona in which he intentionally stepped on opposing player Chase Budinger's face.[4] Coleman was suspended one game.[5]

For the 2009–10 season, Aubrey Coleman ended the season as the nation's leading scorer in the NCAA.
