-**Zummach reflecting on his experience in the NBL:**\\
-//"It was huge. Season tickets were sold out. ... I got $500 to coach and $100 for legal problems, of which they didn't have any. My law office was in the Security National Bank building. The day after a game, I used to go down the alley behind The Press to the courthouse. Otherwise, I could waste two hours because everyone wanted to talk about the game. I stayed hidden away when we lost. ... Once in a while today, someone will yell, 'Hey, Coach.' And that's 60-some years ago. ... A few years back, I went to the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts, and saw a team picture of the Red Skins the day I was there. I don't know if they knew I was coming or what."//
-**Former player, Glenn "Sparky" Adams on Coach Zummach:**
-//"(Head coach) Frank Zummach was a very fine student of Bill Chandler's at Marquette, had the same traits Bill Chandler had, and they were all excellent."//
