"While he has a strong knowledge of volleyball and understands the game, in my experience, his ability to manage and develop female athletes is a very different story. The environment he created was emotionally exhausting, divisive, and at times extremely toxic.
Rather than bringing players together and building confidence, his coaching style often created tension between teammates. Players were embarrassed or shamed in front of others, athletes were punished for the mistakes or actions of their teammates, and expectations and consequences often felt inconsistent and unfair. Over time, this created an atmosphere where players were worried about making mistakes or becoming the next target instead of feeling supported enough to learn, compete, and grow. What makes this especially unfortunate is that he truly does know volleyball. However, knowing the game and knowing how to lead young women are two very different skills. "
"Consistent bullying, humiliation, and harassment. Witnessed several jovial and fun-loving teammates be torn apart on a daily basis shattering the self esteem, confidence, and mental health of so many young women. Repeated team discussions about weight and constant racist remarks. A blatant disregard for the safety of black women, we often were put in situations that were not safe and were chastised for speaking up. I’m sure myself and several other young women are still healing from the effects of such harmful treatment. "

"Manipulated and lied to players about scholarships and playing time. He is racist working in HBCU!! Protected by AD there is no place that players can go to and share their experience. Jody plays who he likes not who deserves. Respects players only when he needs them, otherwise screws them. While coaching in club was sabotaging recruitment for players. Says N-word (and he is white) around white people he trusts. "
