“Words can't truly express what Mike Garland means to me. We've been friends since we met the first night in college and basically have lived the rest of our professional lives together. To say he's just my friend doesn't even scratch the surface of our relationship. He's my brother for life.”

“The coaches that I played for lived other places.”

“One of the things I like to do is let the players play and the coaches coach.”
