"Knowledge gets you nowhere if you have no communication skills to back it up (and honestly I think most of these reviews are over inflating his knowledge). Coaching is a people job and he is just not a people person. My grandma could coach a team to more wins and she's never touched a lacrosse stick. Marist is amazing; he is most definitely not."
"Where to begin… this guy is awful. Kind of knows lacrosse but knows nothing about his players, so he cannot create plays that play to anyone’s strengths. Can’t coach a close game for the life of him. Can barely coach a game that isn’t close either. Does not know how to motivate a team at all. Might know a little bit about being a men’s lacrosse player, but has no coaching abilities. Leadership, communication, and motivation are non-existent. He cannot connect with players on a personal level… he even struggles to keep eye contact. Harps on non-issues while the team has years of losing records - and blames the loses on these non-issues despite the fact that he cannot coach to win a game. For example, blames losses on things such as; girls on the sideline not wearing puffer jackets, talking about school work on the bus, too much time in the sun, and drinking soda. Makes players feel very uncomfortable, has female players 1 on 1 in his office with the door closed. Calls girls on the team “big,” and makes consistent comments on what they eat. Blames issues with certain players on their parents’ influence, but can’t create good relationships with parents to save his life. Tells players about his private family issues, i.e., personal trauma... things that should not be relayed to players. He will call and text players at unreasonable hours and expects a response, but when players text him about important information they are left on read without clear communication. On multiple occasions he’s walked into our locker room without notice, seeing girls in the middle of changing. There was an instance where he sent a butt-dial type drunk email to a recruit. Another time that he failed to follow through on a meet-up with a commit and the girl decommitted as a result. He is the worst!"
"Should not be a head coach. Administration probably hired because he was an alumni who was an athlete but is definitely not coach material. He does not motivate and I would go as far as saying he tries the opposite. He has knowledge but no execution. He is very unorganized. He also would tell the players that there is no hope for them and belittle them. He picks his favorites and that’s it. You can’t not change his mind even if you are playing better than the favorites. He almost wants to get the player to quit. He makes you feel bad. And at the end of the day he has good players but can never get the win. The record speaks for itself. Terrible leadership. "
