"I'm excited to add Lane to our staff here at Chipola. He has worked for one of the best coaches in the country and good friend of mine, Kermit Davis at Ole Miss. I know he has been mentored and understands the way we will do things here in our program. In addition, he has spent two years under Coach Tim Ryan who is an outstanding Junior College head coach at Mississippi Gulf Coast. Lane helped Coach Ryan have immediate success in Mississippi and I believe he brings an outstanding work ethic, a huge passion for the game, and understands the goals and results that we want to have here at Chipola! We want to welcome Lane, his wife Hannah, and their soon to be baby girl to our basketball family!" - Coach Donnie Tyndall
