"I only had one year with Coach, but that season was intense, full of learning, and crucial to my development as both a person and player. That is one of the most powerful aspects of Coach Marty as a coach, that he will impact you in the game AND out of it. He is gifted with powerful words and demands respect, and is very direct and real, and is not sorry about honesty. As I eluded to, I stayed last year for one season, and we as a team had a tough season. But, the season taught me more than almost any other life experience, and Coach Marty was a monumental impact and someone who I have nothing but respect for."

"Continue to allow players to develop under less distress and more belief to help them reach their full capability. "

"Coach Marty Eggleston made a lasting impact on me both as a player and as a person. From day one, he set a standard of discipline, accountability, and consistency that pushed me to grow beyond what I thought I was capable of. He didn’t just coach the game, he taught us how to approach challenges, stay mentally tough, and carry ourselves with purpose on and off the court. Honestly, basketball was the easy part. What stood out most was his genuine belief in his players, along with his vast knowledge of the game. Coach Marty has an incredible ability to teach the details, breaking down situations, reading the game, and understanding what it takes to compete at a higher level. Because of him, I see the game differently now, and I feel fully prepared and confident to take the next step in my basketball career. He took time to develop us individually, not just as athletes but as young men, emphasizing character, responsibility, and preparation for life after basketball. Because of him, I left the program better in every way, more disciplined, more confident, and more prepared for whatever comes next. I’m grateful for the role he played in my development and the standard he set that I still carry with me today. "

"Coach Marty is a great asset to LCCC. He truly cares about all those he interacts with. He invests a great deal of time into the students and players and genuinely cares about their success. His dedication goes beyond the court, as he consistently supports and mentors individuals in both their academic and personal growth. Coach Marty is loved by many! "

"I'm glad to have this opportunity to share my thoughts about Coach Marty. I've known Coach Marty his entire time at Lorain County Community College. He cares deeply for his basketball players. He wants them all to be good MEN. Being a good man is a priority to Coach Marty as well as being a good student. He spends time helping students through-out our whole campus. He mentors students and is a true leader. LCCC is a much better school because of his leadership. He goes above and beyond with our students. My husband and I have attended multiple basketball games here at LCCC. Coach Marty holds himself to a high standard. He is respectful to other coaches and other players. "

"Coach is a very smart and kind person. He knows how to give advice and to help people with any issues that they may need help with. He also goes out of his way for people who are in need "

"Coach Marty changed my life, I had no clue that I would even go to college, much less continue my basketball career after high school. Now as a college grad with 2 degrees and zero college debt. I have a great head start into my future. GREAT GUY.... GREAT COACH"
