What They're Saying About Shane Burcar…

	"Shane is a tremendous leader. He has the special ability to be firm with his players and still have great relationships with them. His Arizona connections from coaching high school and junior college basketball in Arizona will help him to recruit the top talent from the state. Shane's strong ability to communicate with people will bring great support from the community and student body. Shane will provide tremendous leadership, coaching and success to the NAU program." - Randy Bennett, Head Men's Basketball Coach at Saint Mary's College
	"I'm thrilled for Shane and I think this is a great opportunity for him at Northern Arizona. Shane is a Yooper like me (from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan) and he's a hard worker who has climbed his way up the coaching ladder. I've gotten to know him over the last few years as he has brought his high school teams to our camps at Michigan State and I've been impressed with his vision of building the NAU program with players from his region. Shane had great success as a high school coach and Northern Arizona saw that in his first year on staff. He came and spent a few days with our staff last year before the season started and you could sense he was ready for the next step. I think he will be a great leader for their program, on and off the court. I'm both proud and excited for him to get the same opportunity I got here at Michigan State." - Tom Izzo, Head Men's Basketball Coach at Michigan State University
	"Coach Burcar is a great choice for Northern Arizona. We competed against his team last year and I was very impressed with the job that he had done with his group. I'm looking forward to following Northern Arizona and watching their success." - Lorenzo Romar, Head Men's Basketball Coach at Pepperdine University
	"The future of Lumberjack Basketball is as bright as it's ever been naming Coach Burcar as their leader. His relentless effort, contagious energy and years of experience will allow the program to continue moving in a positive direction!" - Dedrique Taylor, Head Men's Basketball Coach at Cal State Fullerton
