"I told Ronda of Rob’s absue of us girls and she did nothing about it. In fact she praised this man every chance she got. She’s a terrible administrator that allowed this coach to abuse us. Kinda weird she is so protective of male coaches. "

"I was one of the girls unfortunate enough to be a player Rob chose to be the outlet for his anger issues. No matter how many hours I practice I was consistently verbally berated and made fun of in front of teammates. He normalized the abusive culture he created and often bragged about countless failed attempts previous players made to address his behavior and get him fired. He decimated the confidence and love for lacrosse of many other girls. l For years I believed I was deserving of the way he treated me. That I was somehow bad enough at lacrosse to warrant the belittlement and jokes he made at my expense. It wasn’t until I watched one of my teammates, another one of his targets, excel following Rob’s departure from Davenport that I realized we were never the problem. When I heard he was coaching at YSU I had hoped he changed for the better. As many reviews prior to mine have stated, this was unfortunately not the case. I am writing this review not to slight Rob, but to warn others of his long standing pattern of abuse. I hope he moves away from coaching women’s lacrosse in the future and gets the help he needs."

"This man child is a monster. He treated players horribly just to satisfy his own ego. I was a goalie that played for his club and college team. On my club team he made a girl leave for tying her shoes (sorry sally you deserved better). I got concussed and he pressured me to come back to playing early by telling me over and over "those sheets should be all zeros by now". I couldn't take the pressure and lied to my athletic train telling her I was ready to come back. I got concussed again a week later and he treated me like I was making everything up because he spent an entire month in Africa on his honeymoon. he left everything to his assistant coach for an entire year basically. his wife is also something else. I decided to leave a month before the end of season and he was to focused on the remotes for the TV in the room to understand this wasn't a fun little get together. When I told him I was done and just didn't even want to play anymore he told me if I left I'd become a drug addict. I honestly just could not continue to watch him treat the people I cared most about horribly ever single day. he averages losing at least one goalie a year. note for the man himself; 0-16. hope you cant afford your coffee anymore."

"Rob was horrible to the players. My daughter was so excited to start her college career and ended up wanted to quit because of him. He was verbally and mentally abusive. He would continuously swear and berate the players in front of parents, teammates and anyone else who was in ear shot. His coaching staff was afraid of him and would not advocate for the team. Horrible. DO NOT PLAY ANYWHERE HE IS A COACH. He is not a leader and promotes a culture that causes animosity between his players and staff."

"He was the worst. He made my daughter doubt herself and brought her self esteem down to a very low place. It was crazy how the staff backed his every move. Glad to see he is gone but too late for us. "

"Horrible person. Toxic. Dishonest. Turns teammates against each other. Meddles in players personal lives outside of lacrosse. Karma caught up to him!"

"It is almost impossible for this man to be positive and uplifting. There’s a difference between tough love and verbally abusive. He takes complete advantage of everything, including his position, as he has bragged about not losing his job. He has even been rude to other coaches and staff members. He said the team can go winless and he still won’t get fired, because this is a “buffer year” for him. Well guess what, they did go winless. He even publicly swears at them and it’s overheard by many. Always negative. Plain and simple, he is a narcissist. I would never recommend anyone to come to YSU and play for him. "

"My daughter played from Rob Harris at YSU. He is a horrible person. For someone who has a little girl, he treats his players poorly! He is abusive. He yells and screams at his players, is disrespectful to them, and does NOT care about their mental health. He has created a toxic environment at YSU. Do NOT EVER play for him."

"What an embarrassment to the YSU and athlete community. This coach was yelling, cursing and so rude to his players on his field that we could hear it from our field next to theirs. He left his field to come commensurate with the coach on the field we were at and continued his poor attitude in front of all of the athletes and fans. Who complains and whines like that in front of others? It appeared he was trying to shame his athletes but the poor reflection was only on him. Students considering committing to this program should be aware how he treats these young adults. If he is willing to behave so inappropriately in public, I can only imagine what he gets away with in private. I did not want to submit anything while their season was going on to avoid disrupting the athletes' but it should be publicly known how this coach behaves."

"He is now coaching at Youngstown state which is a D1 program he is very disrespectful to his players and I’d definitely out of his league he’s 0-14 at the moment and it doesn’t look good for the rest of the season "
