Coach Jim Larrañaga – Head Coach University of Miami
"I believe Michael Huger is one of the brightest young coaches in the game today. He has done a fantastic job during his eight-year coaching career with me both at George Mason and at Miami. He's an outstanding X-and-O man, a terrific recruiter and a real family man. He will bring Bowling Green to new heights."
Fran Fraschilla – ESPN/Former Collegiate Coach
"Michael Huger is a sharp, young rising star in coaching. He returns to Bowling Green as head coach the old fashioned way--through hard work and dedication. He'll be a great role model for Falcon student-athletes."
Antonio Daniels – Former BGSU Falcon/NBA Player
"I couldn't be happier for Michael Huger and his family. What better way to get your first head coaching job than at your alma mater. For me personally, no knock on any coach that was there since me leaving BG as a player, I now have a connection with Bowling Green basketball and so now I'm back involved in Bowling Green basketball. Michael Huger is the reason I went to Bowling Green. I kept in touch with Michael Huger when I was in Washington with the Wizards because Michael and Coach Larrañaga (Coach L) were right up the street at George Mason. I couldn't be happier for Michael Huger. I'm back in. I'm back in Bowling Green basketball and I'm excited. I can't wait to get back to Bowling Green now. I know that when a guy is under a certain guy for a lengthy amount of time, you can't help but to take what that guy brings. Michael Huger has been under Coach L for years. Coach L was one of the best coaches outside of Greg Popovich, if not the best coach, I've ever had. If Michael Huger can take the things that he learned from Coach L and apply them to his system at Bowling Green State University he'll be fine."

"Mike Huger is the perfect hire for BGSU. He has experience playing professionally, and has experience coaching at the mid major and major level of college basketball. The icing on the cake is that he played at BGSU and he considers it his home as many former players do. Duke, UConn and other successful programs have hired back players to coach that have played in the program. I just think it adds a little more to everything when you come back home to coach. The first time I met Mike I was a freshman and he was a junior. Right off the bat I knew Mike was the leader and that if I wanted to be successful I needed to learn from him and do everything he told me to do. Mike was a huge part of the reason that I was successful at BG. Mike will now be the reason BGSU men's basketball will be successful both on and off the court and in the community, as well. BGSU is a special place and Mike Huger is a special person and coach."
