"To put it in perspective, not often does a head coach and assistant coach leave, and an entire team stay including incoming freshman. This is a representation of what Berry Men's Lacrosse has been built on during my four years and the couple of years after, strong brotherhood, held together partially by a shared displeasure of the former Head Coach Curtis Gilbert. He definitely does care for the game and is a good guy in the office and family man, but on the field his emotions run unchecked which leads to ineffective coaching. He constantly "challenges" players which in reality means putting them down and quasi bullying them, without motivation to rise out of a slump. He can't run a drill for more than 2 minutes without stopping and yelling over the most minute mistakes. It got so bad he made it known that no one was allowed to bash him anymore in their final goodbye message to the entire team. However one thing I have noticed is he has been able to routinely produce good defenders through simple fundamentals, probably due to his background as a pole. At the end of the day if your looking for a no nonsense guy who can teach a team the fundamentals and deeply cares, he' may do fine. If your a program like Berry who has plateaued, especially offensively, and now is trying to claw back into being a contender for a conference championship, he is the last guy you want. Also if you do hire this guy make sure he isn't syphoning allotted meal money to any assistant coaches. "
