What they are saying about Levell Sanders …

"I have taught, led, and coached many outstanding players and people over many years. Levell is as good as any when it comes to talent, integrity, intelligence, teammate, leader, and dependability. He embodies the definition of a Winner. He is the kind of teacher and leader our younger generation needs to learn from. On and off the court."

• Tommy Amaker, former Duke All-American, Seton Hall head coach and current Harvard head coach

 
"One of my biggest regrets leaving Seton Hall for the NBA was never having the opportunity to coach Levell. I’ve always been proud to follow his many achievements as a player and coach. He’s a fantastic person and will do an excellent job for Binghamton University."

• P.J. Carlesimo, former Seton Hall,  NBA and Olympic coach who recruited Levell Sanders to Seton Hall

 
"I have known Levell for some time and he has always been a hard worker and a high character person who connects with many different people. He is a class act!! He is a seasoned coach who can teach, recruit, and knows the game. I am excited that Levell has been given the opportunity to be the next coach at Binghamton. He will do a great job of representing the university both on the court and in the community."

• Adrian Autry, former Syracuse All-BIG EAST guard and current Syracuse associate head coach

 
"I have had the privilege of playing with Coach Sanders in college. Even as a freshman, Levell possessed great leadership skills but more than anything, he had an uncanny way of connecting with every single guy on our team. It doesn’t surprise me of the success he’s had as a player and as a coach."

• Adrian Griffin, former Seton Hall teammate, NBA guard and current Toronto Raptors assistant coach

 
"I truly felt cheated that I didn’t have the opportunity to coach Levell for all four of his years at Seton Hall. He was an ambassador for Seton Hall basketball as well as being the epitome of a student-athlete and most importantly a great person. Levell’s attention to detail and basketball intelligence were very impressive. He was driven to be the best player he could be … all traits of a good future coach. Binghamton University and the community are very lucky to have a coach of Levell’s character and caliber.”

• Rob Jackson, former Seton Hall assistant coach and current San Antonio Spurs regional scout

 
"As a player Levell had many traits found in all successful coaches. The ability to communicate with his teammates and coaches, he was a student of the game, he was prepared for all situations, he had a strong work ethic and desire to get better. I am excited to watch Levell’s journey as a head coach at Binghamton University.”

• Bruce Hamburger, former Seton Hall assistant coach and current FDU associate head coach 

 
"Binghamton has chosen a leader, teacher and father who will provide his players with life lessons that they will carry with them forever. They may not like the adversity while they are going through it but they will respect the process after they graduate.”

• AJ Speaks, Seton Hall alumnus and current Miami Heat senior broadcast producer

 
"Levell was one of the hardest working players and one of the best teammates I’ve ever played with. His passion, hard work, strong character and his love for the game took him across the world, where he gained invaluable experience as a player, coach and human being. Not many American coaches had an opportunity to play and learn as a player and as a head coach in Europe. His knowledge, passion and fanaticism will make him one of the best coaches in college basketball and beyond.”

• Rimas Kaukenas, Former Seton Hall teammate and professional basketball player

 
"I couldn’t be happier or prouder of a former recruit and student-athlete than I am of Levell. He has always been a student of the game and I wasn’t surprised at all when he became a coach after his playing career ended. Levell is a great young man who has taken every opportunity presented to him and used his dynamic personality and intelligence to make each experience a positive one for everyone. There is no doubt in my mind that he will do the same positive, uplifting job at Binghamton."

• Mike Brown, former Seton Hall assistant coach

 
"I am so excited for Levell and the Binghamton program. Playing in the backcourt with him at Seton Hall, I just knew he would make an outstanding coach. His basketball intelligence and feel for the game were outstanding and he was a natural leader with an engaging personality. He will turn that program into a consistent winner and contender."

• Dan Hurley, former Seton Hall teammate and current UConn head coach
