"Sadly, this coach is mentally unstable. He has favorites, and for them, this is a great team. But if you're not one of his 2-3 favorites, you live in a very different world. He has cursed at me, called me "reta-----". He punishes you for missing an interval at a practice. He calls you names and bullies and belittles swimmers. The girls team may as well not even exist for all the attention they get. He is foul-mouthed, angry, bullies anyone he doesn't favor, and he is a terrible coach. He didn't win conference because he's a good coach, he won because he's a good recruiter. He recruited some young, fast swimmers -- and NONE of them has gotten faster. He can't control himself. He's unstable, and a danger to this whole team. I am seriously considering giving up the sport of swimming completely because of him. "

"I walked past the pool at my university a few times and heard this coach screaming profanity at the team. I could not believe what I heard. I have always thought the coaching staffs at Marymount were top notch. But this made me a little shaken up. I wonder if admin knows how he talks to athletes."
