"Very old school. Plays a 1970's-80's style of basketball which is awful to watch (and play) and not effective in today's game. Doesn't get the most out of his players. Hasn't changed his style and philosophy as the game has changed and evolved. Doesn't understand effective field goal percentage at all. Incorrectly compares 2 PT shooters and 3 PT shooters efficiency using straight FG percentage rather than eFG percentage (which gives the accurate comparison taking into account that a 3 PT shot gives you 1.5 times more points than a 2 PT shot.) Still plays a boring, half-court game with way too much dribbling and very little passing and ball movement."

"overall think she’s an incredible coach that cares a ton about our children"

"I had a very disappointing experience with Notre Dame tennis, largely because of the coaching. Silverio consistently demonstrated poor communication, often failing to clearly outline expectations or provide constructive feedback. Practices felt disorganized, and there was little sense of a structured development plan for players. What stood out most was the lack of support for athletes both on and off the court. Instead of fostering a positive, competitive environment, Alison often created unnecessary tension and appeared to play favorites. Opportunities didn’t always seem to be based on performance or effort, which made it difficult to stay motivated and trust the process. A major concern was the impact this environment had on my mental health. The constant pressure without adequate support, combined with inconsistent communication, created a stressful and discouraging atmosphere. Instead of building confidence, her coaching style often left us feeling anxious, undervalued, and mentally drained. Over time, this kind of environment takes a serious toll, especially for student-athletes already balancing academics and high-level competition. Concerns brought to the coach were frequently dismissed rather than addressed. For a program like Notre Dame, you would expect professionalism, accountability, and a commitment to athlete well-being—not just performance. Overall, my experience with tennis was extremely frustrating and disappointing. Notre Dame is a great school but Notre Dame tennis will never be good with Alison Silverio as the coach! "

"It is a real bummer Notre Dame does not have a coach that can cultivate the culture that a Notre Dame team should have. "

"Coach Frank has a way of pushing his players without breaking them. He holds them accountable, sets high expectations, and somehow makes them want to rise to meet those expectations. That's rare. My son put in the work, but Coach Frank gave him the blueprint and the belief that it was possible. That work ethic carried him all the way to Western Texas and as a parent, there are no words for what that means. We are forever grateful to Coach Frank, the 46 Brothers program, and Lassen Community College for the role they played in shaping our son's future. If you have a player who is serious about competing at the next level and growing into someone you'll be proud of, this is the program. Don't hesitate. Thank you, Coach Frank. Our family will never forget what you helped build."
