"I'm the parent of a swimmer at Marymount University. My daughter would call me every couple of days to talk about coach's outbursts and what insults were thrown towards her and her peers. She tried to talk to Jill McCabe, the athletic president, several times, but was told that maybe it was HER fault he was yelling at her and several others. She was told that "maybe he's just a loud coach." Loud coaches do not call females "clueless f*cking students" and "grossly out of shape." (She swam at Futures, definitely not out of shape)."
"I graduated from the program last year and am still in touch with the swimmers as part of Marymount's grad school. Not surprised to hear that he still encourages underage drinking while ripping the serious swimmers apart. If you take your swimming career seriously, it appears to intimidate him, and he places a target on your back. He wants to be the reason you are successful, if you are independently successful, you will be told the team is disappointed in you while he pats people on the back who see the sport as a fun side thing to do.
My favorite memory was when he forced the injured swimmers to watch the 6am practices but tell them to "get the f*ck off my deck" if they wanted to come to meets and watch. I also really liked when he told a swimmer with the flu to come or "he isn't a part of this team" and he infected the whole team and practices had to be shut down. His sets are almost the exact same every day and it is evident he doesn't actually know much about swimming. My friends at George Mason said he got reported for his sexism there and came here and did the same stuff. He divides the team between favorites (partiers) and targets (academically strong). We've had 11 quits this year, including the best male and best female athlete.
The spray tan does not fool anybody, even favorites know that he lacks knowledge. He's always loudest one trying to relive his college days."
