“Ron Goch was employed by the NBA in a variety of capacities under my direction for four years, 2000 through 2004.  In that time, Ron acted as VP of Business Operations/GM for the WNBA's Utah franchise and as a consultant to several teams, most notably Phoenix, Houston and Detroit.  His total dedication, hard work, sport management expertise and his persistence are the most outstanding elements among his many qualities.

”Ron succeeded wherever he was assigned.  Whether it was running an entire organization such as Utah, where he grew attendance, increased ticket sales and sponsor revenues and substantially reduced operating losses, or whether it was simply building a group ticket sales function from scratch, as he did in Phoenix, that in one season took its place as one of the best operations in the league.

”Ron is a self-starter who exhibits the highest level of ethics and integrity.  You can give him an assignment or even a complete franchise to run, and know that the objectives will be achieved, on time and on budget.

”I recommend Ron Goch without reservation as a sports management professional who will never let you down.“
