"If you are a person of color looking to play volleyball, this school is not for you. This team is not a safe space for PoC athletes and even female athletes in general. Firstly, Hoffman is noticeably harder on his PoC athletes compared to his white ones. He also has made racially insensitive comments while interacting with his players. Moving from race, though, he also preaches mental health but once a player expresses that they’re struggling mentally, he undermines it. Adding on, he is not a coach that is good at taking criticism. He will ask for it but don’t bother giving it because he will go on a tangent about how what you’re saying is wrong and how he is doing things is right. Hoffman is also does not hide his favoritism, choosing to keep athletes on the court the he likes over ones that will actually turn the tide of the game. The team is also becoming less and less diverse throughout the years as some of the new players share his ideas and have said some insensitive stuff to/about PoC athletes. He has also made misogynistic comments about staff members that are assigned to help the volleyball team."
