Former Minutemen player Caleb Tomlin chimed in with these thoughts on Coach Carl Koenig.
"I don't know that one email can capture all the wonderful things that can be said about him. To me he was more than a coach but a friend. He was somebody who always wanted to better the lives of young men and he certainly did that. He taught lessons in so many facets of life, whether it be the class room or life in general. He knew that a majority of the guys he coached would not be going on to play college ball so he wanted to allow them to have fun and be prepared for the next step. He was a coach who loved every aspect of basketball. He was a fundamentals coach, always stressing the fundamentals to his players. He worked hard and it made us want to work hard for him. But I won't remember him as just being a good coach but being a good friend."
