What They Are Saying About Ritchie McKay
"Ritchie McKay brings a wealth of college experience. Coaching at the big-time level will be an asset for him at Liberty. He has big-time enthusiasm and he will build a successful program there."
Dick Vitale
ESPN College Basketball Analyst
???‚¬?“I have known Ritchie and his family for a longtime. He and his family will fit the community, Liberty University and the basketball program to a ???‚¬?“T???‚¬??. If my own son was looking for a place to play, Ritchie would be at the top of the list of coaches I would want him to play for. He has tremendous values and priorities and is a superb coach, one who is very difficult to prepare for. When it came time to prepare for strong programs like UNLV or BYU, we at San Diego State would look at what Ritchie did. I look forward to following his successes at Liberty.???‚¬??

???‚¬?“I have been friends with Ritchie and Julie for some time. It is a tremendous hire for Liberty and I couldn???‚¬?„?t think of a better fit. Ritchie is a tremendous Christian man, a tremendous basketball coach and is everything that Liberty University is looking for. I couldn???‚¬?„?t be happier for Ritchie and Julie.???‚¬??

???‚¬?“Anytime you can get someone on this level who is a very good basketball coach and loves the Lord, you have done something pretty special.???‚¬??

"My time spent with Coach McKay was some of the most rewarding times for me both as a player and as a person. He is a man of great integrity and character and has helped me grow tremendously both on and off the basketball court. I couldn't have asked for a better coach to help guide me through part of my basketball career and I still look to him to this day for guidance. He will always be my coach and without him I surely would not be where I am today!"
Danny Granger

???‚¬?“I have known Ritchie for more then 15 years and he possess one of the brightest basketball minds I have encountered. He has a great ability to evaluate, recruit and teach basketball players and I don???‚¬?„?t know of anyone with higher integrity on or off the court.???‚¬??

???‚¬?“This is an outstanding hire for Liberty University and Liberty athletics. Ritchie has a very impressive resume and the fact that Jeff Barber could go out and hire him shows the great direction our athletic program is taking. Ritchie is an extremely gifted coach, a strong man of faith and he is going to lead the basketball program to national recognition.???‚¬??
