Iowa State head coach Larry Eustachy
"Terry has had an instrumental impact on every aspect our program, including scouting, game preparation, recruiting and on-the-floor coaching. I believe Terry has all the tools to be a successful Division I head coach, and we were fortunate to have him as an associate head coach at Iowa State."

Paul Shirley (Iowa State outgoing senior)
"Coach Carroll was an integral part of our program for the last three years. He's a great players coach. He's knowledgeable in the X's and O's, and is the kind of guy you can always talk to after practice. I know our team will miss him next year."

Newly hired UNLV head coach Charlie Spoonhour
"I've known Terry since he was an assistant coach I think he will do a wonderful job. I think you are hiring a great coach, nice person, nice wife and family. I am tickled for Terry and I think he is a great choice for the University of Denver.

When he was coach at Indian Hills all of his kids knew how to play, knew how to act and knew how to do the things you need to do to be successful. He is going to win games, there is no question about that, and he will get kids. He knows the Midwest and all the junior colleges. I think he will do a fine job."

Southeast Missouri State head coach Gary Garner
"Terry was my assistant at Drake University for four years. Terry is just a very good person. He has a great knowledge of the game, loves basketball, loves teaching young men the game of basketball. He is the total package of what's needed at the Division I level today. He really relates to the community well and will energize the community around the basketball program."
