Over the years, Garber conducted numerous workshops in coaching, officiating, and youth lacrosse. As a result of his efforts, 15 of his players were employed by schools in New England as teachers or coaches and started lacrosse programs. Over 40 athletes became lacrosse officials and formed the nucleus of the New England Lacrosse Officials Association. Garber has also contributed to athletics through involvement in several professional organizations. He served a four‐year term as President of the New England Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association. He was Chief Administrator of the North/South Intercollegiate Lacrosse Game. He spent 10 years as an Executive Board Member of the U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA), chairing its Film and Game Promotion Committee. A member of the committee to establish the FIL World Championship, he served on the committee to transform the USILA championships to an NCAA tournament. Garber was New England Coach of the Year nine times and College Lacrosse Coach of the year twice. He was inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1985 and has received Division I NCAA Coach of the Year Honors. Upon his retirement in 1990, Garber was named Man of the Year by the USILA and received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree by UMass. He is the only coach to receive such an honorary degree.
