"He knows he is a terrible coach and terrible human being deep down. Asking players to give him good reviews is ridiculous, I would think if you were a good coach you would automatically get good reviews. This guy is a fraud and knows he got away with a lot of sus things in the past and now it’s catching up to him. Don’t even get me started on why he “resigned” from RIT. This guy has it coming and the truth will be told."

"Horrible coach. Treated my son like a number, did not care about his injuries, implored him to play through when he could barely walk. Publicly embarrassed him in front of the entire team multiple times about his choice of major and his playing time. Extremely unprofessional coach. It’s incredibly disgusting that Stevens still employs him. Any corporate job would fire him immediately. "

"Horrible lacrosse coach. His way or the high way. Easiest person to out coach because he refuses to change. Treats his players like a piece of garbage on the side of the road. Extreme nepotism. Made an award for his son who without him would never come close to being on the stevens lacrosse team. Does not give players a fair shot and has extreme favorites. Would not recommend ever. "

"This is the worst coach in college lacrosse. The fact he still has a job after failing to make a run in the tournament with the talent the roster has is insane. He is holding this team back with his clears and rides and 0 motivation to any players. He chokes in big games and doesn’t prepare his players. He treats them AND fellow coaches with disrespect and needs an ego check. "

"My kid plays for coach Peluso and I appreciate the fact that he cares about the students as student athletes. He knows the pressures of the academics at Stevens and he allows the students opportunities to excel in the classroom. The athletes are given personal days if needed to focus on academics and mental health. As a parent I know there is more than the game of lacrosse and I appreciate that coach sees that as well. "

"Not sure how he is getting 5 star reviews. Stevens must be really stupid if they keep him on board. Almost all of the New Jersey lacrosse community heard about what a terrible person and coach he is. Stevens will be getting a bad rep if they continue to support him. "

He set my son up for success outside of the playing field; which is what we all wish for as parents. I encourage anyone looking for a great college experience head on over to Stevens. "

"Just a bad coach with ego issues. Everything needs to be on his dime 24/7. Terrible at handling emotions in games, leading to producing one of the worst second half teams in college lacrosse. Shows up 30 mins late to practice daily. He’s seen as a great coach on the outside because of his record. However, it’s pretty easy to recruit guys to a top academic school in the NYC area and pump bottom of the barrel teams by 20 goals to get his winning record up. Anyone with a pulse could do that. Pretty sure he has less than 10 top 10 wins in his coaching career. None of his wins are quality. Changes need to be made at Stevens to be successful. "
