"Bob Marlin
has done a tremendous job building Bearkat men's
basketball into a Southland Conference championship
program. He is a dynamic coach and quality person. The
Huntsville community is excited about what is happening
with Bearkat basketball."
- BOBBY WILLIAMS, Athletics Director, Sam Houston
State University
"Bob Marlin has won everywhere he has been. He recruits
quality people. His teams are always well coached. When
you play Bob's team, you better be ready. You have to
beat them. They are not going to beat themselves."
- BILL SELF, Head Coach University of Kansas
"Bob Marlin is one of the finest coaches in college
basketball. His success at every level makes that
apparent. All his teams at Pensacola were nationally
ranked and he won the 1993 Junior College national
championship. At Sam Houston State, he took over a
program that hadn't had a winning season at the NCAA
Division I level and has produced two conference
championship teams in five years. What's more important
is that he is a fine person. The greatest compliment you
can pay a coach in this business is this -- I would love
for my son to play basketball for an individual like Bob
Marlin."
- DENNIS LINDSEY, Vice President Basketball
Operations, Houston Rockets
"Bob Marlin has done an excellent job as a coach. I
really enjoy watching how hard his teams play and the
fundamental execution they display on the court."
- BOB KNIGHT, Head Coach Texas Tech University
"Bob Marlin is a hard worker who is very organized. He
communicates well with players. He has a real knack for
recruiting quality players and then getting them to do
what he wants them to do. He's done a tremendous job at
Sam Houston State. Not only has his program been
successful on the court, he has created excitement for
college basketball in the community. Bob is not a 'rah!
rah!' guy. He is a thorough, methodical coach who dots
the i's and crosses the t's and does a great job."
- DAVE HOBBS, Associate Head Coach University of
Kentucky
“ Bob Marlin is one of the top mid-major coaches in the
country. Taking a program that had not had a winning
record in more than a decade and turning out two
championship teams in four years is just a tremendous
accomplishment. Keep your eye on the Bearkats. They are
going to continue to be a factor in the Southland."
- FRAN FRASCHILLA, ESPN
"Being a good coach begins with being a good person and
Bob Marlin is a great person with a lot of integrity. He
is one of the most down-to-earth people in the
profession. On the court he is an excellent coach who
always has his team prepared. Bob Marlin is a winner in
every sense of the word."
