Former basketball coach and Athletic Director Jack Brenegan had this to say about Bill, "Bill was a strong leader and for him the team always came first, but as an individual he was one of the hardest working players I ever coached. He literally made himself into an excellent college player through his dedication. When Bill sets his mind to do something, he gets it done."
