Nancy Zimpher Coach Quotations

Character counts. Our coaches must be exemplary role models, on the court and off.

We asked Coach Huggins to join all of us as we raised the standards at the University of Cincinnati across the board in academics, in athletics, in service and research,

We expect our coaches to be role models, and we expect our students to be role models. We make no apologies for setting high standards.

It was in acknowledgment of his rich history here that we wanted to give him an opportunity to coach in the Big East and to have a wonderful sort of termination of his career at the University of Cincinnati. Obviously that didn't turn out to be a viable option for him, but I'm optimistic about the future of our program.

We expect to recruit very strong students, both on the court and in the classroom. We expect our coaches to be role models, and we expect our students to be role models. I will not apologize for setting high standards.
