"Barb has built a program that develops players on and off the field. She is caring, empathetic, and consistent. UMass competes with the best in the country year after year. It’s a shame people cannot take accountability and must hide behind anonymous reviews."

"Barb has been absolutely vital to the success of this team. As a parent of a daughter who had to work her way onto the team over four years, Barb was the best part of every part of our experience. My daughter, an American without scholarship money, had to work hard throughout her time here, and Barb was extremely supportive. Always willing to grab coffee, always accessible, and always doing her absolute best to give the whole team the best experience possible. It's disappointing to see someone trying to paint Barb as a monster. You only have to spend ten minutes with her to know exactly who she is. As a parent, I am beyond proud that my daughter was held to team standards, and when she didn't meet them, she was held accountable. Welcome to the real world! Over the last four years, Barb has had many challenges to deal with, most recently a difficult situation involving a player whose behavior toward her teammates (bullying) was well known within the parent group. As a parent, I am beyond grateful that Barb considers the 26 other athletes first. Barb has been a tremendous coach. Her staff have been the best part of my daughter's college experience, hands down, and I am grateful my daughter had to work hard to become better both on and off the field."

"Barb is genuinely the best coach I’ve had over my 20y in field hockey. She pushed each and every one of us to become better people on and off the field. I’d restart my 5 years under Barb IN A HEARTBEAT. I can’t believe what some of the people on here are saying - Barb truly is the best and was my rock in the most crucial years of my life, she helped me become who I am today and couldn’t be more proud of it BARB WE LOVE YOU"

She also creates a positive team culture."

"Coach is a good person who cares about the well-being of her players on and off the field. To help players succeed she has to try to uphold standards and expectations. Not everyone likes that or being held accountable. Some players want to play DI to say they played DI, some play college sports for the clout and swag. Some can’t handle failure and want to place blame on others. I’m putting this here to show how Coach is a good person. If you are looking to find out who Coach is or who other coaches are, visit schools and talk to players there, talk to coaches yourself and form your own opinion. If you don’t like a coach, find one you do, and play for them. If you have a complaint or concern with anyone in any profession or in life, handle it professionally and respectfully or say nothing at all. Even if your concern is valid, if it’s made anonymously it cannot always be addressed. "

"Winning record. Players who graduate. Athletes who get better. Young women who enjoy each other. College sports aren’t supposed to be summer camp. Not everyone is picked. And just because you start one year, or or one game, or think everything is as you want it doesn’t mean it’s best for the team. That doesn’t make a bad coach. It doesn’t create a bad culture. A coach has to think of the program, of what is best for everyone rowing the same direction. This site may be Yelp for coaches. Yeah, anyone can post. But good restaurants get more good reviews than bad. And, there will be many more positive reviews on Barb Weinberg. That’s because she is solid - as a person and a coach. "

"Coach Barb has been such a great coach and mentor for my daughter. She brings the team together, encourages them, gives them honest feedback to help them excel athletically and academically. My daughter has had a great college experience and when she is older, she will look back at her college years and remember the positive impact her coach had on her. We are very fortunate to have Coach Barb as our head coach. She doesn’t deserve the recent slander that she has been receiving from one former player. It’s quite upsetting that this one individual is allowed to slander and bully our coach. It should not be tolerated. We love Coach Barb! "

"The first time I met Barb during the recruiting process, I knew my daughter would be in good hands. We have not been disappointed and, in fact, Barb has exceeded our expectations. We have found her to be kind, supportive, attentive and caring. My daughter has excelled both academically and athletically under her guidance and she has proven to be a great role model. Like any college coach, her expectations are high. And like any college sport, especially D1, it's rigorous for the student-athlete. But through it all, she has been able to create and maintain a positive team culture. She cares for all of her athletes beyond the field, providing support for everything from nutrition to mental health. The girls love her and her retention rate is very high. Thank you, Barb! "
