“Coach Speraw does an outstanding job in every way. He is a
terrific bench/game coach and has the ability to get the most of
each of his players. He puts his guys in position on the floor
that gives them the best chance to be successful. He has had
great success in recruiting and relates very well with today's
student/athlete. The great success he has had at UCF is not a
surprise to other coaches around the country.”
- Lon Kruger, UNLV head coach
“UCF has made a seamless transition from the Atlantic Sun to
Conference USA under Kirk Speraw… I can see why. He can coach.”
- ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla
“Talk to a number of coaches from the South and they will
tell you that UCF is the sleeping giant with facilities and a
student population that is expanding every year. Speraw has
taken an Atlantic Sun program and turned it into the top
competitor for Memphis in Conference USA, which is quite a
jump.”
- Andy Katz, ESPN.com
"Simply put, Kirk Speraw is one of the most underrated and under
appreciated coaches in the game today. When the game is on the
line, nobody will out-coach him, but what separates him from
others is that he is a better person then he is a coach. You
would want your child to play for Kirk Speraw."
- Matt Drake, CollegeInsider.com
“Too many times in sports, coaches use schools like UCF as a
steppingstone to something better. Isn't it refreshing to know
that Speraw actually wants to make UCF into something better?
What's wrong with looking at UCF as a landing strip instead of a
launching pad?”
- Mike Bianchi, Orlando Sentinel
“Playing basketball at UCF helped me grow as a person as it
taught me how to be more responsible and prepare me for
adulthood. Learning from coach Speraw and the staff also helped
me grow as a player. I started learning how to make smart
decisions on the court and to control the tempo of the game to
our advantage.”
- Marcus Avant, UCF player (2003-05)
