"You throwing away personal letters written by players is awful. Truly awful. You threw away irreplaceable things. Your athletic administration is so incompetent. I’ve never in my life heard of someone not being asked for their keys or computer back and I’ve been a coach for 20 years. What you did in this situation is truly terrible. "
"You throwing away things that didn’t belong to you is disgusting. Trying to spin your narrative like you always do is also DISGUSTING. I’ve seen the videos and photos that were taken of security guards being at the locker room when the coaches got their things because everyone knew this is what you would do. Predictable as usual. You’re a loser. Davenport is a business school that doesn’t even follow business protocols. Hilarious "
"Ronda’s mentors had a problem with every rule and standard that was set in place this year. The telling piece in how absolutely dumb Ronda is that they used the exact same rules and standards as her best friend McCall did. Literally how corrupt and dumb can an administration be. These exact same
Rules and Standards given by her friend were not tolerated by Ronda. This is a well known fact as it was told to many people this fall. This is the most laughable thing. They literally have a laminated copy they copied from. At first I thought they were just dumb to use it because it wasn’t their own but now I get it and how hilarious it is. "
"I played at DU and can confirm Ronda is a terrible person and administrator. She came to 2 of our games I think and didn’t care about the program. She talked a lot of s**t about me as a player which I thought was funny bc she never watched me play. Funny how Amber would scream at us for being a good recruiter and she didn’t bring anyone good in. Pathetic place to be now. "
"Ronda started the program at Davenport and as a former coach that played against her she cheated. They made a rule in conference because Davenport softball and baseball were cheating so bad. GO SAINTS! "
"Ronda only likes selfish kids that don’t play and are bad teammates. If that’s you, you will thrive at DU. This team won’t be duplicated again because it’s TEAM first. Sad the abuse they all have went through. Davenport abuses student athletes! "
"This new team is a winner. Ronda is a loser. You shouldn’t be allowed to treat players the way you have treated them. Your behavior is remembered as much as you try and deny it. "
"There has been much adversity this year yet this team comes through time and time again. Keep up the great work and show your strength and resiliency in these last few games. Disregard the negative comments and those who want to see you fail. Prove them wrong and finish the season with your heads held high. Ronda, we know you are doing the best you can. There is a lot of haters on here who don't have the courage to stand up for what they really believe in and have to spam this site with hate and negativity. Thank you for helping this team overcome their obstacles this year with all of the issues, the weather, the mess; you are doing an amazing job. "
"As a parent the team the previous staff built is awesome. They are so fun to watch and care for each other. They created a fun team culture that is truly never out of the fight. Ronda on the other hand is not. She’s rude and disrespectful and isn’t a good coach. Shes not a good person and tolerates entitlement and selfishness. It doesn’t really appear she knows what she’s doing to me. "
"Practicing with Ronda is a joke. She doesn’t know how to make anyone better. She can hardly even hit balls and I don’t understand any of the adjustments she tries to make. "
"Read through these comments, if you know, you know. Keep your head up girls, keep working hard. Don't let these cyberbullies take away what you have accomplished this year. Ronda you are doing a great job and hope you know we appreciate you."
"yeah real game changer alright she doesn’t even know what she’s doing as a coach. We played our home game at a middle school bc she doesn’t know what she’s doing. "
"Does not care about mental health or the student experience. Goes out of her way to not talk to people but if you suck up to her, you will be her favorite!! She’s a sad human. "
"Playing at DU for one year is the worst experience I’ve ever had. Ronda didn’t even coach us on jv. She made fun of players and was rude. Our practices were a joke but yes she cares about the overall student experience. Complete lies. "
"Ronda is a hot head that speaks before she thinks. Everyone at DU knows this. Leading a team in the right direction in a month is hilarious. Did she bring in next years recruits too? This entire team is completely different, with new BETTER people. That’s why it works. They make it work because they are a TEAM. Ronda had absolutely nothing to do with it. Baffling the need of credit in a woman that can hardly coach a 10U team. Keep sitting away from everyone, no one wants to be around you. "
"When a grown adult only cares about the credit and doesn’t do any of the work so glad I transferred from DU. Athletic Admin is really messed up. What they allow some coaches and teams to do here you wouldn’t believe. They like you better if you are a horrible person so glad I left."
"As a former player we ate in the dugout all the time. You guys are wild with your lies. Damn, didn’t get a bagel must be mental abuse haha this is college softball. "
"As a parent it was fun to watch this team in the fall before the mess and it was super fun to watch this team in Florida. That somehow got ruined because of playing time. This team is still very fun to watch but trust me it’s not because of Ronda. Ronda is a miserable human being and taking credit for nothing she helped build is disgraceful on many levels. Shame on you for being “friends” with toxic, selfish, non team players. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were all allowed to come back to the team next year. A very unethical institution on many levels."
"I played for DU for 3 years. I know your assistant coach has called you the C word multiple times. I find that hilarious. I also watched you put my coaches through hell and demean them every chance you got. We didn’t have the talent to be successful at this level and all you did was blame, point fingers and distract from the fact that you allowed Amber to not recruit anyone. Don’t get me wrong I’m sure glad Amber left she did nothing but mentally abuse us, which you did not care about at all. It was brought to your attention multiple times. You started jv and straight up ruined the program. Take some accountability and stop pointing fingers. "
"As a parent of several college athletes, I have nothing but good things to say about Ronda. She has stepped up to coach to fulfill the need and allow our daughters to finish this season. For years at DU, the softball program was very successful, yet with the last set of coaches it was declining. I believe that the previous coaches tried to bring in talented players, but there were several issues with the other players that resulted in toxic tension on the team. Most of those players left, and the remaining players are finally coming together as a team and are actually very good. From the sounds of it, many are still unhappy and what I can't figure out is why would anyone allow their daughter to continue to be abused or mistreated if that was really happening. If my daughter was experiencing what you are claiming she would be gone immediately. There is no amount of scholarship that would keep my daughter in that situation. My daughter does not get much playing time but knows that there are other girls that are ahead of her. She is glad to wait for her time as many college players do. So if things aren't working out for your daughter, why doesn't she enter the portal? Why are you letting her be mentally abused? If I can answer that for you, I would say it's because you are not who you say you are. It is evident by your posts and comments that you are disgruntled and angry, and lashing out at a coach who has nothing to do with your problems. Ronda started the softball program at Davenport, and she has a lot of stake in the game to see it succeed. We fully support her as the coach and hope she knows that this platform does not represent what people really think of her. "
"Ronda supports coaches who drink with athletes and are in relationships with athletes. This is evident when I played at DU. She allowed one of my teammates to be in a relationship with her basketball coach. She’s full of double standards and has displayed this behavior for years. Everyone knows it and talks about it but nothing ever happens. "
