"He is a coach that is very motivated to win and wants the best for his players. Coach Gust is very intense and as a player, I can appreciate a leader who wants the best for his team. However, his own personal opinions about certain players can be detrimental to the overall future success to the program. He plays favorites and lets those players have a much longer leash in regards to opportunities and playing time. If Gust had coaches that were able to stand up to him and voice their honest opinions, this would likely resolve itself. Instead, he has surrounded himself with former players and 'yes-men' as coaches. Coach Gust has the potential to be a great coach, but needs better people skills, to be more personable, and to treat each player according to the same standard. "

"Dishonest and doesn't care about players. All tags are positive and geared for successful rating. He is not understanding, is not fair, and in my opinion not a good coach. "

"He treated any player who wasn’t a starter or reliever, very unfairly, a lot of times no communication to them, and did not include them in the team throughout the whole season. Poor, very poor recognition. I would never recommend him to anyone, theirs several players who had the time playing, and will tell you he same thing."

"Coaches his feelings more than what is right in situations, makes rash and often abrasive decisions, routinely breaks NCAA rules, and has a no fault to self attitude. He has good motivation/intentions for people that he likes in the program but has his favorites. "

"Lacks the ability to understand and get to know players. Teaches conformity. Miss understands the "new school" mechanics of baseball. Trouble showing compassion and empathy for injuries and the players who are injured. He does have a strong understanding of the mental approach to the game."
