"Belittles the players. Not fair. Believes in negative reinforcement!!! Doesn’t care about their academic achievements accept for them to pass so they can play. Wants them all to go pro. Unrealistic. !!!!!! Doesn’t try to make them an all round good player! And they are not respectful to other teams "

Intense Poor Communication Old School Mentality Develops Team Beyond The Field Fitness Is Important

"This coach is extremely controlling and toxic. They isolate players, discourage going home, and create tension with families by talking bad about them. They constantly trash talk players behind their backs and tear everyone’s game down, they lead by fear. They do not care about you as a person at all—only results. They stir up drama, make up situations, and create a hostile environment. I left this program feeling worse about myself than when I arrived. This coach and assistant ruined my experience. Do not come to this school unless they aren’t there anymore."

"Cheats at all events hosted by his team. If you visited and did not sign with him he makes sure your draw is against players higher ranked. Puts his team players in spots against easier players and teams. Sad for a coach. Hope no good players sign for him. "

"This coach is all about winning. He’s not about make an all around student athlete. He will do whatever it takes to win and hurt whoever he has to. You will only a couple a chances to prove yourself and then your done. He partial to players that just want to player over and above thier 20 hours a week. And players who want to go pro. He yells, cusses and makes the players a nervous wreck and humiliates on court "
