He is as honest as the day is long, hard working in all aspects of the job, and has a passion for his profession. He is totally respected by everyone in the game. I'm sure his is great to play for because he spends 24 hours of every day thinking about how he can help other achieve at the highest level. A star in the making!" Billy Gillispie Head Coach, University of Kentucky "Steve and I have been friends for many years. He's done a great job everywhere he's been. He certainly helped Calipairi inn getting Memphis back to the point it is today. Steve will continue to do a great job at Lamar University. He has great energy, a great way with people and it's only a matter of time before he has Lamar competing for championships." Bill Self Head Coach, University of Kansas "Steve is a high entergy, high intensity guy and really has a feel for the game. He is athe kind of man you would want your son to play for." Mike Brey Head Coach, University of Notre Dame "Steve Roccaforte's relentless pursuit of finding what makes a young person respond to taking their hearts, minds, and games to another level is a lot of fun to watch from a coaching perspective. He dives into making people better and holding them accountable for the improvement in a really enlightening way. I love where the Lamar program is heading." Tom Crean Head Coach, Marquette University "Lamar University made a great hire with Steve. He has worked as a college assistant and did a tremendous job. He is a Lamar graduate and has a strong love for the university. Steve in a tiredless worker who wants to do a great job as the head coach at Lamar, and I'm confident that he will."

KFDM COOP Posted November 9, 2007 Report Posted November 9, 2007 All those coaches really like the ROC!! Good find RIM.
Guest mffl Posted November 9, 2007 Report Posted November 9, 2007 He is an up and coming coach. A 20 win season would do alot for him and his contract next year. ;D
TheSportsDoctor Posted November 9, 2007 Report Posted November 9, 2007 I'm not a basketball fan compared with others but I think Lamar is lucky to have a coach like Roc. I think the team will be improved this season.
