"Tom is good person outside of the game. That said, he lacks understanding of leadership and lacks the ability to coach at the college level. His focus seems to be the optics of the program from a far rather than player development, player confidence and team culture. He communicates tough messages through sarcasm, more times than not, in front of other players. Hes dramatic in the lockerrom on gameday. Either angry or proud to the point of tears. Rather than focusing on actual in game adjustments, teaching and developing the message is typically that the players need to "work harder" or "dont care enough". Again, away from hockey, he is a good person but is not a leader of a college program"

"bad coach not for me wasnt good at communicating and does not care about players"

"Very honest and direct coach "
