What They're Saying About Kevin Nickelberry...



Ralph Willard
Head Coach
Holy Cross

“Kevin Nickelberry is as good an assistant coach as I’ve had in my sixteen years as a head coach and I have had the good fortune to have four former assistants and one player move onto head coaching positions.  I feel Kevin is more than ready to join that list.”

Oliver Purnell
     Head Coach
Clemson

“Kevin has overachieved, especially in recruiting at all of his stops.  I have known him since he was a student in college and have followed his career ever since.  He has made great advancements in the profession.”   


Dave Leitao

Head Coach
Virginia

“Kevin is one of the bright and aggressive coaches in basketball.  His ability to recruit successfully at different levels has expanded his base nationally.  Having worked for some of the most respected coaches in America has prepared him to be a coach.  He can get good players and he is ready to improve them as well.”

Frank Haith
Head Coach
Miami

“Kevin Nickelberry has proven to be an outstanding recruiter who possesses great relationships in the basketball community.  His ability to communicate with and coach players at this level will make him a valuable asset as a head coach.”


Eddie Basden
Chicago Bulls
Former Player
at Charlotte

“Coach Nickelberry started out being a coach that was recruiting me, but ended up being a father figure that taught me to respect the game.  The footwork he taught me and to play every play has made me the player that I am.  I would never be an NBA player if it wasn’t for him.”


Mike DeCourcy
The Sporting News

 

 


“Kevin Nickelberry quietly has built himself into one of college basketball’s premiere recruiters.  Perhaps he’s been too quiet.  His accomplishments in helping to identify and attract promising players haven’t gotten nearly the attention merited.  Anyone who knows the game, knows talent is the primary ingredient in building a winning program.  Locating players who fit in a given program is not as easy as Kevin makes it look.”


Seth Davis
Sports Illustrated
& CBS Sports

“Wherever he has been, Kevin Nickelberry has proven himself to be one of the brightest young assistant coaches in America.  He is energetic, hard-working and charismatic, and has all the requisite qualities to take the next step and become a successful head coach..”


Jeff Goodman
 FOX Sports

 


“Kevin Nickelberry is clearly one of the best recruiters in the business.  Just look at his track record and he’s been able to do at each of his last three stops – Clemson, Charlotte and even Holy Cross.  He does a terrific job connecting with kids and the trust players have, in addition to a keen eye for evaluating talent, make him one of the elite assistant coaches in the country.”
