"The coaching staff at WSU is notorious for lying to players. Rely on tactics that no longer work, and fully relies on individual players with no goal of playing or building as a team. Assistant coach Matt Kagan also does not get along with players and nobody wants to play or work hard for this staff. Transfers and incoming freshmen beware. Also lack of communication and expectations on the field are very unclear. Absolultely 0 team culture and the team struggles because of it. Players do work very hard and want to be successful which is a good thing and it is a competitive enviorment which some people may thrive in. "

"Latest Version of this coach is back to his old ways of constantly changing financials of most of his promises to players. Tells players and parents what they want to hear and then later changes financials. Tells players everything is good after Spring Season and then when fall comes changes all financial promises without telling any players there is a change, they sign their paperwork in August and then parents get unexpected Bills on education and Living expenses. HE has a long history lying to parents and players all the way back to his 2nd years as Head coach. He has a disrespectful bullying attitude towards players so they are afraid to question him about financials along with never answering emails about why financials have changed. Even if players follow all rules of team, School, and are willing to work at anything to get better. He chooses to only develops his preferred players and rest of players watch practices if he does not believe they are " Quality Players" . by a goal or more multiple times against better culture programs that only have less then 6 shots on goal or less) Watch some games and see the 20-36 shots on goal individual mentality that has been created. Possession is individual based along with defense which is really sad as there is some quality players they want to succeed. There is no thought of quality shooting vs quantity ( stats don't lie). Their are some great players that are good people but their is a horrible culture created when coaches create a i dont want to hear from you culture and win at all costs mentality. Style of play is all individual , how can this build a positive team Culture with Heart and caring about each other. 2022 results and stats tell that system is designed as individual play and he is not developing team just attempting player pment. Several have moved away from program or re committed to another college . Program has had winning ways and players have gone professional in past so if thats all you care about it could be a great place. "

"There were always constant problems and tension among the team because of the coach. Even his staff does not appreciate working for him and players do not truly listen to him. There is not a culture of respect or excellence but rather of fear and frustration. He will work with you if you have personal problems but expects you to be the exact same person on the field despite those problems. There is also never any room for error. I was a four year starter and wish I had transferred. "
