"Coach Graeme is very egocentric and only cares about himself. He treats many of his players like garbage and has ruined multiple players’ self esteem and has put many in a position to go to therapy, due to his erratic behaviors. He has caused suicidal thoughts and food disorders to some players. If you google his name you will find the article that talks about it and how 12 former players exposed him. Under his tenure at Oregon, most players have regressed instead on developing. He is a goalie coach so unless you are a goalie, don’t expect to become a better player while at Oregon because Abel won’t invest in you, nor does he have the knowledge or the vision to do that. He holds different players to very different standards and he is a master manipulator. He yells at players when they make mistakes so the team plays terrified and in fear of being subbed off at the first mistake. Negative reinforcement and yelling are key components of his coaching style. His assistant coaches are completely subjugated to him and he treats them like servants. He has only seen success with players who were not developed by him. I highly recommend talking with some of the players who have been at Oregon for a few years before considering this school because this coach can really break players."
