"She can come across as socially awkward, which seems to affect her ability to communicate effectively with her players. She avoids eye contact with people. When the team is winning, the players’ close relationships help them stay connected and push through challenges. However, when the team is struggling, they do not seem able to rely on their coach for the same level of support, guidance, or leadership. The athletes themselves are very close, which helps maintain team morale. However, it feels like the University of Colorado program has the potential to be much stronger, and recruiting may be impacted by her interpersonal style and difficulty connecting with people. Her interactions can sometimes feel distant or uncomfortable, which may make it harder to build trust and strong relationships. There also appears to be inconsistency in how players are treated. Rather than formally cutting athletes, there is a perception that players she no longer wants on the roster may be encouraged to leave on their own. Support also seems uneven depending on a player’s status, with top players who are injured potentially receiving significantly more care, while younger or less established players may feel overlooked. For example, she visited a top player in the hospital but neglected the other athletes in the hospital. Another concern is the division created between starters and non-starters. The groups are frequently separated in practice, which can be discouraging and demoralizing for players outside the starting lineup. Some athletes feel this creates unnecessary exclusion rather than fostering a unified team culture. It has reportedly been brought to her attention by team captains that this dynamic is harmful to team morale and culture, yet the approach has continued."
