Remembering Coach Byers

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Jim Byers touched so many lives not just in his time at the University of Evansville, but in his 79 years of life. Today, we are proud to share the thoughts of some of those closest to him. We thank all of the former coaches, student-athletes, administrators and friends for sharing their thoughts.

"I loved Coach Byers, and am so thankful he decided to hire me. He was an AD that you could go to for anything. He always had time for you. He would listen and there was always wisdom in his solutions.
