"In Vetter's program, kids are prepared for college as well as any other program in the country.  They learn responsibility, discipline; and they identify with team goals.  And the discipline is not just on the court but off it as well.  His kids are not just good players, but gentlemen."

- Coach Mike Krzyzewski
- Duke University
- US Olympic Coach
