"Abusive, plain and simple. SBU should be very concerned with this coach. As a Christian university, they should be very concerned!"

"Coach Hanger lies. He tells one person one thing and turns around and tells another something different. The practices look the exact same everyday and he has no impressive experience or knowledge about volleyball, which the record directly reflects. The number of girls he runs off increases every year. The athletic department continues to defend him for some unknown reason. "

"Coach Hanger is the worst coach I have ever played for. Starting from calling me unChristlike for cheering on my teammates. To dismissing a rape victim on the team. Coach Hanger also would not feed his players. You feel like you’re constantly walking on eggshells and have no clue ever how to react. 24 girls are leaving in one year. This man needs to never coach again."

Disorganized Poor Communication Intense Cares About Academics Old School Mentality
"He is verbally abusive to women even his assistant coaches. He has had 5 assistants in 5 years. He causes girls to be suicidal. He lies constantly and is very unorganized. He has no idea how to coach and has never had a winning season. He doesn’t watch film or check stats. We have one of the most athletic teams in conference but consistently rank close to last. He will do illegal and verbally abusive things at a baptist school and then say “if you’re Christian you have to forgive me.” The athletic director and compliance officer protect him so he doesn’t get fired and tells him everything you say so he can retaliate. Do not trust them. He has had several NCAA complaints and nothing happens. If he gets mad he will not feed team on trips. He refuses to let you see the trainer when hurt and tells trainer you are faking it. He will tell girls to leave because they suck and aren’t good enough for juco and when they recommit he will email their coaches and say they aren’t coachable and have a bad attitude. He got mad at beach coach because everyone went to beach to get away from him so he tried to sabotage the beach season all season long. This included making girls who played both indoor and beach do 2xday indoor practices on top of their beach practices so girls where practicing 3xday. Professors and other admin staff at the university have also reported him. This year so far 25/28 are transferring. This includes our top stat leaders and starters. Girls try to graduate early to get away from him. Everything has been reported to the president of the university, the VP of student affairs, and the NCAA and nothing has happened. It is highly suggested you record meetings in case you ever need it. Several recordings were also turned over to the president so he could hear what he says."
