"This coach is manipulative and passive aggressive preaching team chemistry but team culture is horrible. Lack of understanding of lacrosse shows in the offense and massive amount of unforced turnovers. She refuses to change her force to goal -lack of movement offense. She will meet with you and tell you that she only predicts a minimal role on the team with no chance to play yourself onto the field. Team culture is drinking and fake kindness-don't be fooled. This team will never win with this coach and she should take mental health awareness training."

"If you care about your mental and emotional health and do not want to be around a bully, I would highly recommend avoiding her at all cost! I only played two years, because she was emotionally abusive. "

"We won more games last year during spring break with a smaller roster and we really didn’t even get to have a productive fall. Now we have a more talented roster and this clown doesn’t know how to write a line up. This team is ran like a slow pitch, rec ball, beer league. The best players don’t play. If you hit .097 chances are you’ll be put in to pinch hit in situations where we need to score. It’s all so laughable. On top of that the dude is a straight up weirdo. I would have ran through a wall last year for the team. He is the least motivating coach I’ve ever had and by far the most self righteous but hey atleast we get more expensive meals now so priorities. "

"Tim Balice has been one of the most impactful coaches I’ve ever had—not just because of what he knows about volleyball, but because of how he shows up for his players. He has a rare ability to balance intensity with enjoyment, creating an environment where hard work is expected but the process is still fun. He pushes you beyond what you think you’re capable of, holding you to a higher standard than you’d ever set for yourself, and somehow makes you grateful for it. What sets Balice apart is the respect he brings into every interaction. He genuinely cares about each player as both an athlete and a person, and he backs that up with action. Whether it’s staying late for extra reps, breaking down film to help you improve, or simply being there when you need to vent, he shows up— EVERY. SINGLE. TIME, and he does so without hesitation. There’s never a question of whether he’ll be there for you. He just is. His passion is undeniable. He wants to win, he wants to be great at what he does, and he pushes everyone around him to rise to that same level. But it’s not just about performance on the court—he cares just as much about who you are off of it. He challenges you to grow, to be accountable, and to carry yourself with purpose in every area of life. As a player, as a teammate, as a student, as a friend, as a kick a*s woman. One of the things I respect most about Balice is his humility. He’s not afraid to admit when he’s made a mistake, and more importantly, he learns from it. That kind of self-awareness is rare, and it builds a level of trust that goes far beyond the typical player-coach relationship. My experience with the Dayton Volleyball program made me want to walk away from it all and not look back. It took an everything out of me. But even after everything, Tim Balice has remained a constant. He’s stayed in touch, checked in, and shown that his care goes far beyond the game. That’s something I’ll never forget. I truly would do anything for him—and I know, without a doubt, he would do the same for me. "

"From a parent perspective, based on observation of games and corroborated feedback shared among UNH athletes and families, the current coaching environment raises serious concerns regarding both program oversight and student-athlete well-being. There is little visible evidence of structured game planning or opponent-specific preparation, and from the sidelines there are little to no observable adjustments following timeouts or between quarter breaks, with the same patterns of play continuing throughout games. The team often appears unprepared, with inconsistent execution and declining intensity. Most concerning is the shift in the athletes themselves, which appears directly tied to the current coaching approach, as players increasingly show a loss of confidence in the program’s direction and leadership. Across the team, there is a clear pattern of confusion around expectations; frustration with limited game planning, player development, and substitution patterns that underutilize talent on a deep, highly skilled bench; and a sense that effort is not consistently or fairly recognized. As a result, athletes who were previously confident, cohesive, and high-performing now often show hesitation in play, disengagement, and visible tension among teammates. Families are increasingly sharing concerns among themselves about communication practices that appear to cross appropriate boundaries and contribute to division among teammates, undermining trust and creating an environment that does not feel psychologically safe for athletes. These young women are frequently seen leaving games visibly distressed, and families report declines in confidence, enjoyment of the game, and increasingly negative self-perception tied to their experience. These concerns do not appear to stem from the program’s transition to Division I, but rather from the current coaching environment. The level of talent on this roster, if properly developed and supported, is capable of competing at the top tier of the conference. Taken together, these patterns reflect an environment that is negatively impacting athlete well-being and undermining the program’s culture and competitive foundation, and warrant serious and immediate attention. This is especially concerning given that the university recently promoted this program’s strong, winning culture—including NCAA tournament appearances and s********s part of its transition to Division I."
