Tributes
“If
there
was
one
word
that
defined
Coach
Flynn,
it
was
respect.
He
respected
his
players
and
all
of
the
members
of
the
athletics
staff.
He
was
a
great
person
to
be
around.
With
that
respect,
he
gained
the
respect
of
his
fellow
coaches
and
administration.”
Dr.
Carol
Fritz,
Associate
Athletics
Director,
McDaniel
College
"He
was
just
a
fun
guy
and
worked
so
well
with
the
players.
That's
why
he
was
so
successful
and
he
loved
life."
Jim
Phelan,
legendary
head
coach,
Mount
St.
Mary's
University
“The
ones
that
are
really
going
to
be
affected
are
all
these
kids
in
the
future
that
won’t
have
the
opportunity
to
hear
Bob
Flynn.
I’ve
never
seen
a
coach
or
any
person
touch
more
lives
than
Bob
touched.”
Morgan
Wootten,
Hall
of
Fame
Basketball
Coach.
“I
learned
a
lot
from
Coach
Flynn
as a
player
and
also
as a
coach;
he
was
a
great
mentor.
He
was
an
eternal
optimist,
and
that
rubbed
off
on
everyone
around
him."
Chris
Harney,
former
player
and
current
head
coach,
St.
Mary's
College
“He’s
just
that
special
person
that
connected
with
everybody.
He
was
a
father
figure.
Coach
is
going
to
live
through
us,
no
matter
what
…"
Brett
Foelber,
former
player
at
Cardinal
Gibbons
and
current
player
at
McDaniel
College.
"I
felt
sorry
for
him
when
the
Mount
won
the
Northeast
Conference
title
and
advanced
to
its
first
NCAA
Division
I
Tournament
in
1995.
He
had
left
the
year
before
to
become
head
coach
of
the
St.
Mary's
College
basketball
team.
I
wished
he
could
have
been
a
part
of
the
Mount's
success
in
1995.
He
recruited
many
of
the
players
on
that
team
and
deserved
a
lot
of
credit
for
what
they
did."
