"RECRUITS - PAY ATTENTION! Coach Buksa is a terrible coach who finds a way to lose games. She’s the most toxic coach in NCAA softball. Her whole approach is to demean us, yell at us, cause unnecessary stress, and it makes us hate playing the game. She’s a complete liar and can’t be trusted. Now that our losing streak is in the 20’s, it’s become an embarrassment to us, the program and the school. I hope the AD at UIC is seriously watching this train wreck and is going to bring in a great staff next year. Most of these girls are going to leave, and they should. "

"No coaching technique just metrical quotes. "

"If I could give this coach "0" stars, I would. If you want a coach that makes former all-state players lose confidence, allow stars players to quit the team, and basically kills off any motivation, then this coach is for you. Jamie Buksa claims to be a "so-called" batting coach, but her time at UIC has made her batters worse. Just check the batting averages for the players on the team. She blatantly plays favorites, is not concerned about fairness or development, and is only there for the paycheck. She was promoted to interim head coach after the head coach was fired, and has even been given consideration for the position full time, but she blew it. The players are not only uninspired, they dread going to practices and playing the games because it's been such a terrible experience for them. After going on a 15-game losing streak (and counting, losing to teams that had only 1 or no wins), you'd think she'd have the decency to resign from the position and allow these girls to have a competent coach to give the seniors a chance to end their college careers respectfully. She's basically giving up, has yelled at the team for getting the head coach (her friend) fired, and doesn't give a damn about what the administration does nor does she care about the players. She figures by the time the administration gets around to firing her, she can run the team into the ground even more by losing another 20+ games. Please, if you ever find out that Jamie Buksa is coaching a softball team, please don't allow your child (or young adult) play for her. Trust me, you'll regret it. "
