"Louis Orr is an outstanding basketball coach who worked for me at Xavier University and Providence College. He did a great job at both of these fine institutions, and he made an impact with the players in the program as well as the administration and the community. He is a fine leader and he will do great things at Bowling Green."

"I have much admiration and respect for Louis as a coach and as a person. I'm glad to see him back on the sidelines. He's a knowledgable and passionate teacher of the game, and he also has great passion for developing and mentoring the student athletes entrusted to his care. He embodies character, enthusiasm, and hard work. That's a winning combination. I think the experience and success he had at Seton Hall recently has prepared him well for the work ahead at Bowling Green."
