At Houston, Coleman was the 2009 Conference USA Newcomer of the Year as well as a selection for the 2009 All-Conference USA first team.[1][2] He also received honors of being named to the 2008-09 NABC All-District 11 first team and the 2008-09 USBWA All-District VII Team.

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 accidentally 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. A part of the first Cougars team to win the Conference USA Men's Basketball Tournament in 2010, Coleman was also a part of the first Houston team to enter the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship since 1992.
