Those guys look up to them. I mean I was at lunch today and those guys, they all want to talk to them. He was the center of attention just like he should be and it was really cool to see.”

- MSU Denver head coach Michael Bahl “We’ve been very close with coach JB [John Bynum] over the past year since he got added to the staff. He’s kind of like a brother to us and you know, we were very respectful of what they were able to do here.”
