"North
Alabama did a great job by hiring Coach
Champagne. Bobby played for me and
coached on my staff at South Alabama.
What made him a winner on the court are
the same traits that have made him a
winner as a coach. His work ethic, his
knowledge of the game, and his
determination to win will carry him and
his teams to the "W" column. Give him
some time, and he will have North
Alabama as one of the premiere teams in
the country in his Division."
Ronnie Arrow
Head Basketball Coach
University of South Alabama
"I have known Bobby since he was a kid
attending my basketball camps in
Lafayette , Louisiana. He later played
for me and started varsity as a
sophomore at St. Thomas More High
School. The traits that make Bobby
Champagne a special coach today are the
same qualities I saw in him then. Bobby
has always been a student of the game, a
hard worker, a good listener, and the
consummate team player. He has a unique
ability to think ahead, possesses
tremendous leadership skills, is mature
beyond his age, and has a personality
that attracts people to him. Bobby will
be highly successful at North Alabama
because of all these qualities. His
teams will play with heart, they will be
fundamentally sound, and they will be
well schooled on team concepts. I have
no reservations about the success that
the North Alabama community will enjoy
in their basketball program under the
leadership of Bobby Champagne."
Rickey Broussard
Former Assistant Basketball Coach
Louisiana State University
"North Alabama could not have made a
better hire than Bobby Champagne. I have
known him for 7 years, and had a chance
to spend some time on the same staff
with Bobby, and there is not a harder
worker, either on the court or in
recruiting. He is going to bring great
kids to UNA that are going to share his
work ethic and desire to win. They will
go above and beyond what is asked, just
as he does. With time to mold the UNA
program in his form, it won't be long
until they are playing at a level that
will make them perennial contenders at
the Division II level."
Ryan Carr

"Bobby Champagne has prepared himself for
success. His experience coaching all
over the country with the people he has
worked for is excellent. He is well
thought of not only in Louisiana, his
home, but all over the country. He is
one of the top up and coming coaches in
the country."
Billy Kennedy
Head Basketball Coach
Murray State University
"Bobby is one of the most well-liked and
respectd coaches in the profession. His
energy and enthusiasm is second to none.
Every program he has been at has won. He
knows first hand what it takes to be a
part of a championship program. i look
for North Alabama under Bobby's
leadership to be at a championship level
year in and year out."
Porter Moser
Assistant Basketball Coach

"Bobby Champagne is a shining star for our
coaching profession because of his
character, integrity and his passion for
our game. Bobby has a great desire to
win, but do it the right way. I always
knew he would be a successful Head Coach
The University of North Alabama is
lucky to have him. He will do a great
job for them."
