Jerry Wainwright’s quotes on Rusty LaRue. Wainwright is the current University of Richmond head coach and a former Wake Forest assistant coach. 

-“Greensboro College hit a home run in hiring Rusty LaRue. In addition to being a tremendous leader, he’s even a better person.”

-“Rusty is one of the best natural athletes I’ve ever been around. One day at Wake Forest, he had a record setting day as the Demon Decaon’s quarterback and then came out and made five three pointers in a basketball exhibition game that same night.”

-“Rusty is one of the best pure shooters I’ve ever coached. I believe he could beat any one in the world in a game of horse!”
 

--Quote from Dave Odom, University of South Carolina Head Basketball Coach (former head coach at Wake Forest University).

"I am extremely happy and excited for Rusty, his family and Greensboro College. Rusty was born to play and coach. As the new head coach at Greensboro College Rusty's presence and his commitment to young adults will generate new energy and excitement into the Pride's basketball program at Greensboro. Rusty understands the game of the basketball as much as anyone I have ever coached and no doubt will connect with the team in a special way. Personally I am thrilled that he has chosen coaching as a profession. Our sport needs good young people who are dedicated to education, teaching and coaching. I look forward to following his career and his teams in the years to come."
