“I have the ultimate trust in Kyle. His work ethic, his intelligence and his overall understanding of how a successful basketball program should operate is second to none. No one will spend more time each day consumed with how to make SMU Basketball better than Kyle will. Someday he will be a great Athletic Director. For now, I sleep better at night knowing he’s with us.” - Head Coach Rob Lanier
