“When we first sat down to try to decide what kind of coach we were looking for, we came to the conclusion that we had a complete coach in Leonard Hamilton and that we would be looking for a complete coach. That is what we found in Perry Clark.” Ed Williamson, Chairman, Athletic Advisory Committee, Board of Trustees

“We are very excited about the arrival of Perry Clark. He is an excellent addition to the University of Miami athletic program and we look forward to working with him in building upon the great success of our men’s basketball team.”Luis Glaser, University of Miami Provost

“After an extensive national search we are extremely pleased to announce that Coach Clark has agreed to succeed Coach Hamilton. His reputation and experience made him clearly our leading candidate.” Paul Dee, University of Miami Athletic Director

“I’m very happy the search is over and I’m glad they picked Coach Clark. He’s a great coach from what I have heard. I lived only about two hours from New Orleans, so I knew all about the posse. I know about Coach Clark because he recruited me. I’m excited that he is here.” Leroy Hurd, University of Miami sophomore guard/forward from Moss Point, Miss
