"Just reaching out to see if we could remove the title as “head volleyball coach” for ATU. They just announced a new coach and I think it would be great to put all of this negativity and trauma in the past for good. I am very excited for the new hire! She has a lot of background & accolades to prove it! ATU and Abby Davis have finally given me a little faith in humanity for my daughter and the rest of her collegiate career. I know a lot of rebuilding both fundamentally & culturally will need to happen since these girls have been completely broken down and manipulated to think that a college program was normal to run like that under the direction of coach Dukic-Coleman. But this coach has what it takes to get this program back on track. "

"ATU Volleyball continues to decline under the direction of Kera Dukic Coleman. No graduate assistance and NOW we have NO Assistant Coach. The assistant coach left to be an Assistant Coach for another NCAA Division 2 program. She needed to get away from the crazy culture at ATU Volleyball that Kera has developed. Not sure who will become the next Assistant Coach for ATU Volleyball if Kera is in charge of hiring that person. PLEASE ATU Athletics, take the initiative to be involved in the hiring process and bring a professional into the program. Please don't let Kera hire someone that she can manipulate and bully into going along with her "culture" which is toxic. Please use this opportunity to give the ATU Volleyball program a chance to improve with someone who is qualified and professional. Thank you "

"coming from someone who played (quite a lot) in his program.. worse coach i ever had. Does not care about you, he is very selfish, no motivation, or feedback. He got caught in many lies during my year. HAS GOT FAVORITES! and he is not shy about expressing it. In closing meetings he would tell people he wants them back, and offers the same/or different scholarships, only to email them after they leave town that he doesn’t want them back and he will not reply back or help you transfer."

"I have reached out to GAC MULTIPLE times regarding this woman. They have yet to do anything. GAC I know you see these reviews. They have been sent to you multiple times regarding this coach. You read them but just sit there in silence. This is an AWFUL look for the conference as a whole. Have you found it weird that when you do any type of media interview with this coach she always uses words like “toxicity” “buy in to our program”….? And when you talk to others they actually give real volleyball substance. Yes it’s awesome to have good culture and what not but, I think it’s a HUGE red flag that is about all this coach harps on. because ultimately that is what she focuses on because she loves the drama and outside factors more than volleyball. When did coaches talk more about bullshit rather than WINNING? She can’t coach, i’m sorry. she has super low volleyball 1Q. the most vocab you get out of this woman is maybe “physical at the net”. I mean cmon. it’s time to start picking up on these huge red flags. "

"If the GAC wants to be taken anymore serious. Some big changes are going to have to be made at this school. First starting with the coaches. For the GAC to get no at large bids or ever be ranked regionally says a lot about the conference & school as a whole. Ya recruits tucker coliseum is nice and ya the school can give off d1 impressions. Future prospects, do you want to win your conference and have a fighting chance of going deep in the ncaa tourney? Or, do you just want to win the GAC and then draw someone from the MIAA and get pounded the first round of the tourney? your choice. Ya the gym and certain parts of the facilities are nice but the athletics at this school are a JOKE. This goes for mostly all of the sports at that school. I’m just posting this on volleyball because this coach is a prime example. she can’t coach a national level team. i’m sorry. she can’t even get a GAC trophy hardly. let alone going to the tournament. I mean how pathetic to be in one if not THE WORST conference in d2 and still not be able to be at the top. it’s infuriating for donors to continue to pour money into this school and we continue to higher and keep piss poor coaches like this one. any other university would have looked into her shenanigans and let her go after her horrible season. this coach managed to have one of the worst volleyball programs in all of ncaa d2…. any players actually looking to get better and want a smell of competing in the NCAA tourney. please don’t come here. what’s sad is seasons like this will repeat and repeat. and players that are actually decent and want to be apart of something bigger will leave and it will be a team filled with girls who are just content with “maybe” winning the GAC conference. the school and athletic program as a whole will not be taken seriously until they quit hiring based off of who you know, alumni, and politics. and start finding people who maybe want to put GAC on the map. because at some point money will run out, donors will fall off and the GAC will be non existent. time to start making some hard decisions folks….."

"I played one season for this ATU Volleyball program under the direction of Kera Dukic Coleman and it was a horrible experience. I transferred after one season and in my profile page of my new school, I list my previous college as unknown because I don't want anybody to know that I played for this ATU Volleyball program. It's embarrassing. I applaud the players that tell their story of abuse in hopes to prevent other players from becoming another victim of Coach Kera. I witnessed her abuse of a player that included her telling the player that she was a LOOSER because of her social media posts. She harassed that player all season long. It was a huge distraction and an obsession of Coach Kera. Coach Kera cut that player from the program after that season and it was the Biggest Favor she could have every done for that player. My former teammate found a new school with another D2 volleyball program and they just won their conference. I can tell from her social media posts that she is loved and cared for at her new school. She is surrounded by people who believe in her and encourage her. She is not just surviving, She is THRIVING. No doubt that coaches need to push us to be better and do better but Coach Kera lacks that capability. She thinks tearing a player down, gossiping about them and making fun of them is pushing them to do better or to change. This is NOT right. "

"Kera, the best thing you did was tell me face-to-face that you gave up on me as a player because I am thriving here. No "petty drama," just hard work in the gym. Mentally and physically pushed, yet not torn down - that's the difference between my new environment and ATU's program. A year ago today, I gave up on myself, even contemplated not wanting to be alive. Grateful to be here, loving the sport again. Decided to finally respond because it's ignorant and disrespectful to tear down EVERYONE. Thank you Kera for giving up on me, telling me i'm not good enough to play for some shitty team that is in one of the worst conferences in D2 volleyball, talking to other players in meetings and appointments about me saying i'm not good enough to be on the court. Look at me and so many others with a similar story."

"Coach Kera is BY FAR the best Coach I have ever played under. I played volleyball for 12+ years and have been coached and mentored by numerous people. No one even compares to Coach Kera, period. Anyone that knows her, loves her. She is the most selfless person and Coach I have ever met. She cares about her players outside of the game. She strives for players to be their best self on and off the court. "

"Kera Dukic Coleman is not a great role model for young women of today. Young ladies need to be supportive of each other and not manipulated by an adult like Kera who on the surface appears to be a supporter of young women but behind closed doors or behind your back, she tears girls down with her mind games and endless drama. The world is challenging enough and women need to support each other but under the direction of Kera Dukic Coleman, your daughter will be cultivated into a mean spirited and spiteful person. We have end of season meetings and all Kera does is talk trash about other players with other players. It's so unprofessional and just an absolute horrible experience. I am very uncomfortable when Kera talks badly about one of my teammates. I don't know how to respond. I want to say how uncomfortable I am when she talks about other players and ask her to stop. I wich the AD would be required to sit in on these end of season meetings. Maybe if someone was overseeing these meetings, they would be more professional and not veer off into gossip and drama. "

"The truth is Kera has a mean girl mentality, as a woman who is almost 40 (tbh I have no idea how old she is exactly but I know she’s too old to act the way she does) she thrives on drama and pitting girls against each other. For the girls she puts on pedestals their experience is amazing but for the girls that she didn’t like their experience sucked to the highest degree. She is incapable of taking accountability for her actions. Losses are always due to the girls on the bench, the review site, or that the sky is blue. She literally cannot accept that the girls that she chooses to play together DO NOT MESH and that’s why there is loss after loss, she also is incapable of coming to the realization that she created a terrible line up and that she needed to change it. 1) doing the same thing over and over is the definition of insanity. Keeping the same line up loss after loss is insane. (Your record reflects that one) 2) keeping girls on the bench game after game to watch their teammates lose for everyone when they could possibly contribute positively is just straight up torture. It is so hard to sit back and watch people lose, knowing that you can help but you have an insane woman in charge of the team that only plays the girls that she likes. 3) Essentially telling the girls on your team that they suck and giving up on them is despicable behavior. Grow up Kera, these girls don’t suck, they just have a horrible coach. They aren’t provided with tools to develop their skills, nothing you offer makes anyone better at volleyball or makes them a better person. You just leave destruction in your path, you destroyed ATUs volleyball program, record, and reputation. 4) Kera is one of the biggest narcissists I’ve ever met, she physically is incapable of admitting she is the reason everything has gone to crap regarding ATU volleyball. She has a compulsive desire to paint herself as a saint on the outside, she is especially good at manipulating new people into believing that she’s a good person but everyone eventually sees through it. I see through your bs Kera, you are a mean and conniving person and should not have a job where you have influence over young women. Enough is enough, your DUI should’ve been enough to cost you your job but you should definitely be fired now. If she is still employed as the Head Coach at ATU then there needs to be an ethical investigation done. There is enough evidence that you suck at your job and need to be removed. "

"ATU Volleyball is awful. It's one thing to have a loosing record but still grow and learn and develop or have fun with your teammates. HOWEVER, we had NONE of those things this season. The team culture is toxic because that's the culture that Kera developed. She sometimes pretends to revamp the culture and make it more positive but she fails at that because deep down to her core, Kera thrives on adversity. She is not happy unless there is some kind of drama so that she can point to that drama and make that her excuse as to why she is failing at her JOB. "

"I have been silent all season because I wanted the ATU volleyball season to play out itself. Here we are at the end of the season and all I can do is laugh, how embarrassing was the 3-25 finish team? I am absolutely dumbfounded by the lack actions taken by ATU athletics. Look at the facts starting with 2021 season, so it was a successful 22-8 while winning a ring, yet 6 girls transferred out. The 2022 season looked a little different as the team went 22-8, barley making it to the conference tournament, with 7 girls transferring/ deciding not to play anymore. Now look at the 2023 season with a record of 3-25, and we obviously do not know who is transferring out yet. It is absolutely ridiculous that it has even come to this point even after girls have searched for help through this review page. ATU HELP THESE GIRLS AND GET RID OF KARA COLEMAN. "

ATU & Abby Davis never did anything to hold her actions accountable. Kera can’t own up to her DUI. She sweeps it under the rug and acts like it doesn’t exist. Anytime someone brings it up she gets belligerent. Thank god these girls only have a few weeks left of this embarrassment. "

"My daughter played for this awful program and was abused by Kera in 2021. She is one of the players Kera surely still negatively talks about. But that girl is thriving!!! It gives me GREAT satisfaction to see her get roasted for the crap job she does. She was a terrible female role model and dangerously manipulative. The troubling issue is that the AD doesn't have a backbone to do anything about it!! ATU has been aware of the abuse by Kera, yet the turn the other way because she is cheap! You know dollar-store kind of coach. GAC 2021 Championship was due to the recruting efforts of Coach Nook and a few good players who came from great programs! I wonder if ATU sees it now? Probably not....maybe the whole institution is dollar store quality. Advice to future recruites.... take all the scholarship money you can! They do full rides all the time!! You just have to push back, look at her options. ATU has the funds to pay for your education, housing and meals but dont expect to have a positive or WINNING (LOL) experience. HA!"

"if this coach is not fired after the season than this shows a real deep rooted issue that needs to be addressed at ATU. We are over half way through the season and this team has only managed to win one game. what will the excuse be this season? last season her excuse was she needed to get rid of cancerous players. now what? these are pretty much all of her recruits and girls she has allowed to stay in the program and they have managed to have a poorer record than last year. Kera you are pathetic. You are the cancer & should not be able to coach young woman. You put up a front that you are this great person but, I have never met a nastier individual in my life. And it seems like the walls are finally closing in on you and your facade that you have been putting up. like they say karma bites hard. "

"I love that instead of coaching and actually working on stuff Kera has speaker after speaker come in. News flash almost every team is either mid or absolutely below mid at that school. The only people that support this place is either people that went here and just think it’s the greatest school ever. Or people that live in Russellville Arkansas. So I’m not sure people you bring in saying that this team “is doing all the right things” has any sort of credibility saying this. Considering the fact your football team sucks, and every other team is mid in the worst conference in D2 college sports. People just live in their own little bubble because it’s Arkansas and no one wants to live or coach there. That is exactly why the AD doesn’t fire the volleyball or football staff. "

"I've waited a long time to post a review on here... mostly because the trauma I experienced being in this program has taken me years now to recover from and as I move into my adult life I still struggle from triggers and things that happened to me while under the "care" of Kera Dukic-Coleman. I wish I would've read past the lies and deception when she sat there and looked me and my family in the eyes at my visit and said id be safe there because my whole life was ruined... my confidence ruined... my body ruined... my love for the game is gone I do not wish to ever play or touch a ball for my own self desires ever again. I tried to self harm while in this program and am so grateful to be alive today. She attacked me and my character and I spent a whole season protecting others from her egotistical retaliatory toxic god complex personality. Sometimes the girls who never understood why the lot of us who disliked Coach Kera so much will one day when they are out from under her control that maybe she was as bad as we made her out to be. some of us just weren't as willing to play her games just to get court time or be treated like a human being versus abusing us.I mean go back and look at prior rosters she's had she's lost almost more than half of her players every year... even after a championship season she loses her whole roster to the portal. and some quit. they are 1-9 now... for tech's sake I pray they can turn it around for the better but a second single digit wins season you'd think the school would reevaluate her position at that point. what's truly best for tech here? the president just got fired lets hope some one comes in who's unwavering in their desire for this school academically and athletically to be staffed by people who genuinely want to curate a place where young girls can grow into great woman. and not that the girls who've lived and been through the trauma havent ended up being some of the most strong and amazing woman and leaders and can share their experiences to help others but man it wouldve been nice to not have all this pain and hurt for years on after... I just want Kera to self reflect... just think... maybe maybe I did something wrong too. thats all I ever wanted from here. self reflect. "

"1-9 for this season so far... Ouch. Now that I no longer play for kera I enjoy sitting back, eating my bag of popcorn, and enjoy watching her scramble. She made me feel so small as a person, a player, and a teammate. Nothing is ever enough for her. She still stalks past players too on social media, yet acts like she’s so much better than you and is above all. She’s manipulative, controlling, and a liar. She still try’s to control players by emailing future or current coaches because she can’t handle that the reason why people leave this program is because of HER! I’ll tell you ATU is a great school, has great teachers, and a great Colosseum to play in. One thing the school is missing is a great volleyball coach. Will this be another year where she sits the team down and tells them she’s gonna get fired because they aren’t winning and it’s the teams fault? Or will kera take responsibility for once and realize she’s the problem? I’m gonna assume she’s gonna blame it on the team because that’s the type of coach she is:) anyways can’t wait to tune in for this weeks matches! Best of luck to the girls truly but I will never wish Kera any luck."

But we had team meetings today and she acts like we don’t talk to each other after those meetings. She feeds us all the same stuff and won’t just be completely upfront with us. I have noticed is there is a review written she corrects and changes what she does. So I’m hoping she sees this and has a chance to correct it.

Coach Coleman tells your exactly what you want to hear, she will be overly positive with you & to anyone she interacts with. Please please please do not fall for it like I did. It was the worst semester of my life. There were points I even contemplated just ending it all. I know that seems a bit extreme but I felt like I was literally in asylum. She has such a good way of isolating your from friends and family. I am behind thankful I got out while I could. I’m sure she treads even more carefully because, if this review page. But she cannot help herself. She will always resort back to some type of narcissistic behavior at some point. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not come here.

"Kera is like a high school girl that never grew up. She is immature, and does not know how to coach a team (at any level). No amount of management seminars will help this woman be better because she is so focused on the wrong things. She CHOOSES to ignore most of her roster (she recruits heavy but only plays very few) and basically treats the girls that she chooses as royalty and as if they can do no wrong. She likes to recruit heavy because she wants to play her select few and then have a cheer squad on the sidelines cheering for the “in crowd”. Imagine how fun that was. The girls she chose to be a part of her “in crowd” were no better, they would only hang out in that crowd and exclude the rest of the team… this teams motto should literally be DIVISION. This past season our record was 8-22 or some crap like that… you know why it was like that? Because she wanted to keep her posse on the court… high school crap and no way to run a collegiate sports team. She RARELY took them off, even in preseason so if you were thinking you’d have a chance to prove yourself you don’t. She does not care about your talent, she will look lightly at that when recruiting but if you aren’t a mean girl like her then you won’t get to play in a game when it comes to it. She chose to blame the losses on this review site… not on the fact that she was playing girls that 1) weren’t cut out for college volleyball & 2) did not work well on the court together. I cannot tell you how many “meetings” we had after games filled with her chewing us out over the fact that the review site was the problem and the sideline cheer squad (the “party pit” because we’re not allowed to call it anything different) was the problem. She literally would not hold the people ON THE COURT accountable. I was dumbfounded to say the least. This program is broken, do not waste your time here. The only way it will be fixed is if this woman is fired but she won’t be because Abby Davis (athletic director) has covered for her many times. There are so many other things that I could say, but the main thing that should steer you away is the fact that she treats her team like we’re all in high school again. I’m sorry you never grew up Kera but some of us did, maybe it’s time for you to reflect and do better but I know you won’t. "

"The Arkansas Tech Volleyball Team winning the GAC in 2021 was because of the recruiting and coaching efforts of Chris Nook - the Asst Coach at ATU in 2021. Coach Nook handled 90% of the recruiting and he was a very technical coach. His scouting reports were top notch. He put together the ATU team that won 2021 GAC and some of his recruits are still on the roster today (2023) but the majority of them graduated out of the program or transfered out of the program. Chris Nook left ATU in 2021 and now Coach Kera is 100% in charge of everything from recruiting and the technical advising, scouting, etc. She does not have the volleyball IQ for this and as the years pass without a good solid coaching foundation (that Chris Nook originally brought), this program will continue to decline. Coach Kera is not qualified to be a head coach for an NCAA D2 program. She lacks the training and knowledge to run a successful program. This program will continue to decline under the direction of Kera Dukic Coleman. "

She would text us asking how our personal lives were going, she liked to know who we were dating or talking to, and how we were just doing. Some of the girls didn’t really care to share a lot of their personal lives but she always was able to get information. I remember one time in particular she somehow was able to find out where we had went and what are plans were during our weekend off! Although she did not have that strong of an IQ volleyball wise.

"I am a pretty strong headed player that can put up with a lot but one thing that stuck with me that Coach Kera did that was completely uncalled for was keeping players in the bus after a game. We had lost to Harding and went to subway after. She preceded to make everyone get off the bus except for three players. She even made the assistant get off. She asked these girls who she should keep on the team and who she should kick off. She also asked who she could trust or not. How inappropriate right? The players she said she was kicking off or couldn’t trust are all players that thankfully are not with her cultish program anymore but one player is still on that team currently. She said one player was a mean girl, a bully, how she was uncoachable, and she was kicking her off. Thankfully the one girl talked coach into not doing that. The rest of the players, the assistant coach, and the trainer all waited in subway for over 45 minutes. The subway workers were upset because they were closed and we had to stay in there because she wouldn’t let anyone listen to her convo on the bus. Don’t believe this review? There was a recording of the whole convo. Thankfully one of the girls recorded the whole conversation and a handful of us players heard everything. I wanted to keep this to myself but after seeing review after review and seeing poor players that are still with her program even after she dogged them to other teammates I had to speak up. It’s such a sad situation. Kera is gonna tell you none of this happened. Ur reach out. A lot of us players that are not with the program have a lot of things documented such as voice recordings and videos. A group of us are currently gathering all info to send to the GAC committee since, Abby Davis does not want to hold this individual accountable for their poor actions. "

"I am not sure why nobody is checking into the volleyball situation at ATU. The Spring 2023 Roster has people dropping off it like crazy. Why? Coach Kera would like to tell you it's because of injuries, etc. BUT the truth is way different. One player is an education major and Coach Kera won't work with her class schedule so she can play. Can you imagine? Teachers are in short supply accross the US and Coach Kera will not accomodate her schedule and it's not like she is student teaching. She has regular class schedule and Coach Kera will not work with the times. WHY does the administration allow this? The student facility advisors are so frustrated with Coach Kera because she is so difficult to work with and is not cooperative at all. Coach Kera is not a morning person so she wants practices in the afternoon. Which is fine if that would be 5PM or 6PM but NO.... that's Happy Hour for ole' Coach. So practices are like 3PM in the afternoon which is so messed up when trying to schedule classes. I don't understand WHY she is still allowed to continue with her drama and nonsense. "

"I visite this school in the Spring for 2023 for an opportunity to play volleyball in Fall of 2023. I am a JUCO player looking to transfer and finish out my 2 years of eligibility and finish my bachelors degree. I have been on other college visits as a JUCO player and so I expected my visit at ATU to be similar. It was not even close. I had sent a copy of my transcripts to the coaching staff and at the other schools that I visited, they had given me a list of how my classes would transfer and what would be needed to finish my degree. ATU didn't do any of this for me. I am not even sure why I bothered to send my JUCO transcripts. A complete waste of time. ATU is having a staffing issue with no Grad Assistant for the volleyball team and this is going on 2 years in a row. ATU is also short on athletic trainers. I believe they are missing 1 full time and 1 part time athletic trainer at the moment. I am not sure what is going on with ATU but I didn't have a good experience on my visit. "

"I am a former player and I was GAC Setter of the Year back in my time. Then Coach Kera took over the program in 2018. She was a setter herself at ATU back during her time on campus. Coach Kera was so threatened by me that she wanted to run me off so that I couldn't beat her school records. She was jealous and manipulative. She would bench me for some crazy excuss but it was all because she didn't want me on the floor playing and taking away her spot for school records. If you are setter in volleyball, be careful when looking to play at ATU under the direction of Coach Kera. "

"On first glance, Tucker coliseum is impressive. It's huge but when you spend some time on campus and attend basketball games or volleyball games, you quickly realize the downfall of the place. The fan seating is so far removed from the gym floor that athletes cannot hear you cheer for them or feed off fan energy. Unfortunately, this past season both basketball teams had trouble getting fans to come and support them at games. ATU does realize the downfall of the fans being so removed from the floor so they set up chairs on the floor for their alumni or green and gold members to sit to try and produce some excitement. However, it's just not working. I think the football games have more energy but both basketball and volleyball struggle. Tucker is impressive but what difference does it make to have such a huge facility to go play in when the majority of the stands are empty. I am estimating that only 25% of the seats are occupied during games and I feel that it's depressing, especially athletes. "

This review website has been a tremendous help to us ATU athletes because the ATU Athletic Dept does not check on us or care enough about us to even reach out and ask if we are ok. This past year with this Coach Kera and the girls on this team has been the worst. The only way we can voice our concerns and see any type of changes is with this website. So what are we doing with the summer return to campus schedule? Football is different than volleyball and we should not be made to return to campus on July 1st. Is someone at ATU Administration going to do something about this? Is this an NCAA violation? Please help. Thank you "

"I find It very funny Kera “claims” she is in the loop with social media and knows all the ins and outs. But Is is not smart enough to know that we can see when she stalks our social media pages on her personal and burner accounts as well. My first question is who paying for her “SportsRecruits” account? I’m going to guess the school. Well in that case, why is she aloud to use the schools time and money to view players that are no longer with her program. She has not only viewed their accounts not once but numerous times. She has viewed mine and a few other of my former teammates profiles a handful of times in just the past few weeks. Kera how about you use your time to actually get some recruiting done instead of STALKING our pages like a creep. We don’t need another repeat like last season lol. My other issue is she has been attempting to stalk our other social media pages numerous times. We could give two shits about your program and what you are doing. Please do the same and move on. Or at-least get up to date on how social media works ;) "

"I hear that everyone at ATU is reading this website. Therefore, this is a message to the ATU athletic administration - are you going to force us to come back to campus right after July 4th? I think Coach Kera has adjusted the calendar to July 10th but why can't we report back by July 17th? I understand that ATU pays for our housing and for one 3 hour class for the summer session BUT I would prefer to work my summer job for an extra couple of weeks as I get paid $20 an hour as a CNA. I am a nursing major and I would appreciate the work experience along with the extra money from my summer time job. I am not a big fan of replacing Coach Kera at ATU as I understand she is an ATU alumni and ATU needs to give her some extra consideration. However, why is the Athletic Director not requiring Coach Kera to make changes to better the program? The Athletic Director needs to consider the summer session and come up with some guidance for Coach Kera. If this summer session is really an NCAA violation, why does the Athletic Director allow it to continue? "

"Regarding the review before this one (about the 3 hr meeting) sadly it is 100% true. There have been a lot of half truths riddled throughout this site & it is frustrating because us as players just want to get our message out that this woman should not have her job anymore!! After multiple offenses she still has her job & has had little to no repercussions for her choices and actions. This review page has been reported to people higher up than her and for all we know they just swept it under the rug like her DUI. Moving on from that… the saddest thing when it came to that 3 hour meeting is that she tried to use the fact that we have a relationship with God and the pressure of having a pastor in attendance to admit and scare us into claiming things that we didn’t do. This is such a malicious and manipulative thing to do to us and I doubt that she even cares. That alone should be major red flags and warning signs to NOT come here. That one meeting alone was emotionally tormenting and you can only imagine if she was so quick to act like that how is she when there aren’t other witnesses? This program is going down the shitter and Kera is the one flushing it down. How do you go from having a conference championship to having an 8-22 season the next year? When one losses and losses over and over it is common sense to know what you’re doing is NOT WORKING. That was not and will never be the case here. This coach picks her favorites and plays them even if they’re the reason we are losing points. The refusal to change the lineup, be a decent person and not talk shit about the players that she has on her team is unbelievable. Kera… I think you went to high school like 15-20 years ago, it’s time to move on from that type of behavior. "

"The reviews before this give little to no context of a review. I can share my personal experience as to why this coach is anything but ELITE. Firstly, she shows up 30 minutes late to practice. But expects the girls to be there 30 minutes before. I remember vividly a few times it has been from having meetings with her “captains” to talk mess poorly about others on the team. One in particular she had a meeting with a player last year to discuss this review page because she thought the player was involved in writing the reviews. So, the player and her had to meet so this particular player could plead her case that is wasn’t her because she was afraid this coach was going to retaliate against her. We also had practices where we never even touched a ball. Look, I am all for having some team bonding or mental health days but this was beyond that. One practice she used the time to have a meeting with us and called in an outside paster to help her run this meeting. She grouped us in “cliques” she thought we were apart of and started to read off drama that girls had confided to her about and dropped everyone’s names. She made the pastor try to get us to come forward about being involved in this particular review page and if we were telling our parents or former teammates what had been going on. Since negative reviews were being written about her. She told us that what was going on was between the team and it was no one else’s business to know what goes on. Seriously? Looking back she didn’t want us going to anyone about this because it was verbal and emotional abuse. She made us stand for 3 hours. During those 3 hours players were getting yelled at by her, the pastor and other teammates, and players were crying. My question what about this is “elite” ? This was a true scenario that really did happen last year. Don’t believe me ? Ask any girl that was apart of this team last year. This coach is a terrible person and does not care about players. One of the reviews said “she helped them through their darkest times”. This coach did the exact opposite to a lot of us. She was reason why we were in our lowest/darkest times. I don’t every describe someone this negatively but for her I will. She is one of worst people I have ever encountered in my life. I often think how much hate someone has to have in their heart to behave this horribly. Parents, players, anyone reading this. Please do not come here. The emotional and verbal abuse I endured here is not anything I wish upon anyone. She has so many people conditioned to think she is a great person but she is not. Please read the reviews, please read the stories that have happened to us on this team. Please reach out to everyone. I lost myself and my love for volleyball playing under this woman. "

"So typical volleyball programs do not have to report back campus until the last week of July or first week of August. Coach Kera makes us report to campus in the beginning of July. She claims it is "optional" but it isn't. She threatens your playing time and says that everyone else comes so you have to in order to be apart of the team. She forces us to go to workouts and to her "open gyms" that she sits in on. I emailed a representative at the NCAA and they informed me that these are MULTIPLE NCAA violations. She doesn't let you leave early to spend some time with your family before the season starts. So girls only have maybe a week at most to fly or drive home to see there family until Thanksgiving/Christmas. This is very hard on girls that are out of state. She claims that this helps the team get a foot ahead against all of the other programs but look at the record for yourself. It doesn't. This past week Kera took a vacation in the middle of our spring season. I found this to be completely disrespectful because, She only gives us a small window in the summer to schedule vacations with our family and just being able to go home in general. Why couldn't she take her vacation during the small window that she gives us? If any of us were to just simply ask if we could go home a few days earlier her answer would be no. Its ridiculous. I do not understand how this coach expects people to take this program seriously when she doesn't even abide by her own rules. Why does ATU allow this? Who allowed her to schedule a vacation in the middle of the spring semester to party it up with her girlfriends? It is just flat out embarrassing and trashy for not only Tech volleyball but Arkansas Tech in general. The reason she gets away with this behavior is because she is comfortable with her job. She does not care, She whatever and, gets away with whatever. And the week staff allows this because, the school in general is in Arkansas and a poor division 2 conference. One of the worst conferences nationally for division 2. Don't believe me? look on the athletic pages. They have to beg people to come to their basketball games. The coliseum maybe gets 50 people at the most for games. Years ago it was not like this. Changes need to be made . Donors and people that give their time and money to this school in general need to start making some hard decisions. The first being, why are we allowing trips to Cancun in the middle of club season for recruits, the middle of the spring semester, and the middle of this volleyball teams spring season. This is her JOB. It is time we start not allowing this ATU. "

"Caoch Kera body shames her girls at ATU volleyball. Coach Kera scrutinizes her player's social media accounts and will ask you to take down posts that she believes are unacceptable. Not a big deal except she has engaged in situations where 2 different girls could have bathing suit pics of themselves from vacation or whatever posted on their social media. Coach Kera will ask one to take it down because she is curvery (which that girl will translates to I am fat) and the other girl will be allowed to leave her bathing suit picture up because she has little to no curves (which that girls translates to I have no figure, undeveloped or flat chested). Shouldn't it be that no volleyball player at ATU should be allowed to post bathing suit pictures on their social media? Keep the rule the same for all players? I don't understand why ATU allows her to speak to young women in this manner. Her words hurt. Multiple girls are referring to eating disorders and mental health issues. Who is looking out for the well being of these young women? "

"It’s sad that the cycle is being repeated again over and over. What I mean by that is past player’s continuously being spoken on by ATUVB players. This is exactly what happened last year & started a lot of drama between both sides. And here it is beginning again. Me and others that are not with the program anymore are fed up with it and I’m calling the bs out. One girl currently on the team has been in contact with multiple players that have either been kicked off or have left the program. She has told them how a group of the girls on the team currently have been talking about them. Anytime and anywhere. It is completely sad and disheartening to hear this is going on. And she even said better yet the coach allows this type of behavior to continue. I was biting my tongue for long enough until I heard that this same player we thought was an alley is being two faced and also playing around with the gossiping. So I am calling this program out directly. If this does not stop legal action will be taken. We have text message proof, and voice recordings of this BLATANT DEFAMATION going on. The next step is serving this coach formally by a lawyer. PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT THERE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES. "

"This is a little bit about my story... Kera is be emotionally abusive in a variety of ways in volleyball. She use belittling or demeaning language, make unreasonable demands, and berates or humiliate players in front of others. She also uses fear, intimidation, and manipulation to control and dominate her players. Emotionally abusive coaches can create a negative and toxic environment, causing players to lose confidence and develop negative self-esteem. It's important for us players, parents, and other team members to be aware of these behaviors and to speak up if they witness or experience emotional abuse from a coach. It's also important for organizations and governing bodies to have policies and procedures in place to address and prevent emotional abuse from coaches. Playing here at Tech I developed an image issue and even an eating disorder. She would make comments to me in my meeting privately how frail and weak I looked. I was told I needed to eat more and put on weight in the weight room. Instead of really asking me what was going on with me as a person. She would compare me to other girls and tell me who I needed to mirror in regards to body image. She would talk to me about other players and talk about how they were overweight or slow. I was really scared to say anything to anyone about these meetings because I know what the consequences would be. I would cry every night about the thought of having to be apart of that team. On days off I spent most of my time in bed sleeping to try and get away from the abuse. I am so glad I am finally away from this toxic program. I feel immense sadness for the girls currently on that team. I know lots of them are struggling and some have been conditioned to think she is an amazing person when reality she really isn't. I hope no one has to go through what me and so many others dealt with."

When in reality she brings up the negative constantly to us girls to make it seem like everyone is out to get ATUVB. No one is out to get your team. people are finally tired of you bullying and manipulating young woman and leading parents to believe their daughters are going into good hands. It is honestly just a waiting game at this point. Waiting for you all to go into next season and lose every single game. "

"Kera needs an update on how to coach. She likes to belittle you in games and practices. I remember a game against harding she pulled a player out and screamed at her for jumping with the setter and we had lost the point. Kera then called a time out and yelled/cussed her out in front of the whole team. That player then went back in the game crying. It’s okay to be corrected as player however to cuss them out and tell them how stupid they were is not appropriate or acceptable in any way. Not only that but she would also threaten to kick players out of practice or games multiple times as if that’s going to motivate us. I believe kera needs to go to a coaching camp and take some notes on how to keep players instead of being a bully and running girls off. It’s a sad, miserable, toxic environment all because of the head coach who needs help herself. Don’t listen to her media post of how wonderful and grateful she is because its all just a sham, just like how it would be if you came on a visit and she promises you all this money and playing time. It’s just another way to manipulate people for playing there."

"I am a player that was at the prospect account that was held this past Saturday and I would like to share my experience with the Arkansas Tech Volleyball program. Coming into the camp I had very high hopes and expectations. Walking in the Tucker Collisium gym catches your eye very well. It is so big and bright that it really does make it a pro about this University. Everything else felt off though. It was very disorganized. The girls that were running the camp seemed very groupie and cliquish not only with the girls trying out but it seemed like there was an inner circle just within the team. Not all of the girls were like that there were a few that were very nice and helpful throughout the camp session. But it seemed like the ones within the group were very distant and not very willing to engage with us or even their own teammates unless they were within their group. During the camp, I felt very disoriented. It looked like the coach did not prepare very well for the session and the girls running it had little to know idea what was going on. I felt very out of place and felt like there were other prospect tryouts I would rather put my time and money towards before this one. After sitting down with my family and finding this review page I wish I could have found it sooner. After reading the last review about the tryout I felt that a lot of it was true. I would not have attended if I had known what it was going to be like. "

She follows past players she has either let go or has transferred to stalk and see what they are up to. She follows personal Instagram accounts that have little to no personal connection to the program. It's just chaotic. Kera go follow these accounts on your personal Instagram, why are you following these accounts on ATU volleyball? This is a poor look for the program and it just proves my point further that you use Arkansas Tech's social media accounts as a personal account for you. That is not how college team socials should be used. Also, how come you follow athletes on your Twitter but won't let anyone follow you on your personal Instagram? Sounds shady and a double standard if you ask me. "

"Tonight we have to work a “college tryout”. Basically it is a tryout where college athletes can come that are either JUCO prospects or wanting to transfer from the current team they were at. But for Kera it is a money grab. Last season we ran this and she was so dismissive to the girls trying out. She had no plan and it was completely disorganized. She makes us run it and gives no sense of direction until about 5 minutes before we start. Last season, we were in desperate need of a middle. We had some girls that came and she didn’t take any of them. Down the road she took an outside hitter but she didn’t take any middles. She instead takes a player from another sport that hasn’t touched a volleyball since high school and is a junior in college. I find It completely disrespectful. Not only did these girls drive hours and dedicate their time and money to this not knowing Kera wasn’t planning on taking anything from them but $$. She takes someone that already plays a sport at tech instead of girls who have dreamed all their life at playing at the next level. It’s ridiculous and a money grab. Don’t fall for it. She has to have these money fundraisers because she can’t manage her money and has 23 + girls on the team. Please go to a program where you are actually wanted. "

"I wonder what kind of nonsense is in store for us as we make our way back to Russellville for Spring Semester. All Coach Kera does is talk bad about our team mates in front of us in her office, expect us to comment because we want to please her and then we feel bad because we just betrayed our team mate. If we don't comment or gossip with Coach Kera, then we feel bad because we disappointed Coach Kera. It's a no win situation. This Coach Kera is bad leader for young women and I wish ATU Athletics would do something about this situation. Everyone says they are concerned about mental health but talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words. "

"Coach Kera is obsessed with social media - including all of the volleyball teams in the Great American Conference. We played Oklahoma Baptist away on Oct 14th and they photographed a big block from one of their middles right at the net. Oklahoma Baptist Volleyball posted that on their Twitter page with a picture of our hitter getting blocked and a caption that said "Welcome to the Block Party." We lost that game and Coach Kera pulled the ATU hitter from the Twitter photo and showed her the tweet and said she should be embarrassed. Coach Kera did this right after the game in the locker room in front of all the ATU players. She didn't review anything else about the game. She acted as if that one block at the net was the only reason that we lost those 3 sets. Coach Kera bullied this player for a few days about this Twitter post. It's a very bad environmnet. "

Coach has done nothing but the best for this program. You were a cancer to this team and a cancer to every program you've been in. Stop playing the fucking victim to everything because you deserved everything you got. Does that give you the excuse to make someone's LIFE not worth living and ruining their career? NO.

"This coach is a real life Hitler. After last season we lost a captain since she graduated so we only had one captain going into the spring. Coach Kera made another girl captain just for spring. After spring she told all the incoming players and current players for the fall that 2 girls showed “amazing” leadership skills and would be the captains for the fall. WTF we never got to vote on captains. A college team and you can’t even VOTE on captains? What are we in middle school? This past season turned out to be an absolute mess because of these captains. One showed no leadership skills and the other was having meetings in the locker room cussing players out telling them to “get the f*ck” off this team if they were talking to girls that left last year. the captain before that was amazing. She showed phenomenal leadership skills and wasn’t afraid to stand up to kera and to anyone on the team if something was wrong. It will be interesting to see who is captain next year. She loves to have captains who can sh*t talk with her in the locker room. They told us some of the convos she would have with them about other players. It’s sad. Who sits around and talks about others like that. Kera you have eyes and ear everywhere. "

"It’s sad to see athlete after athlete take the time to write reviews about this individual. People that support this coach say things like “people are out to ruin this program” or “tear her down”. My response to that is have you ever seen the term “hurt people hurt people”. The way I see this is if this coach isn’t as bad as you all think why do people invest all their time into this? It’s not just a couple people… everyone is involved. The fact that this coach has made people’s lives such hell for them to run her name like this just shows not only how many bridges she has burned, but how badly she has. When is enough enough Abby Davis. Who is held responsible when an athlete or former athlete commits suicide or tries to. Who is held responsible? You have all the evidence on this page to do do something about this individual but you sit in silence. My only thing I have to say to you kera is I hope you feel just like we all felt when you were mentally and emotionally abusing and harassing us. You don’t feel bad for one second about us and are regretful. You are upset you are getting dragged on this page and called out. That is the difference between a remorseful person who deserves grace and someone like you who doesn’t. Don’t bother playing the victim card we see through you. take responsibility for your actions. Your not fit to be a coach and have any authority over young woman. "

"Look at Kera Dukic's rosters from her second season at ATU to current. She OVER-RECRUITS and has a super high # of athletes on her roster because she has a very high turnover. Kera Dukic DEPENDS on having a high # of girls go into the NCAA transfer portal every season because that's the only way she can manage her budget. She has no money mangement skills at all and she needs that high turnover every season to balance the check book. It's the very reason you see a ton of reviews on this site about scholarship $ - how she tells you a # but the real # is lower or she promises to pay for a summer class but then your tuition statement from OneTech is never credited the $ for that class. The entire program is an embarrrassment. "

"After exit meetings this season Coach Kera had a meeting with all of the current team members about spring. In this meeting she talked about the girls that entered the transfer portal or that she “released”. She lied to the girls that she kicked one girl off but in reality the player left on her own terms. The others she said she had to let go of. She said it wasn’t an easy decision. She then goes to say she has never kicked girls off at all throughout her whole coaching career. After, she makes a reference, “The future is so bright for us golden suns”. My response to that is, you’re absolutely right kera. Your 8-22 record really reflects that right? Like they always say “ it’s only up from here when you’re literally at absolute rock bottom.” You’re ridiculous and pathetic. I just laugh at you and how to approach coaching. You are the absolute WORST coach I have ever seen. And your 24% approval rate on here reflects it pretty accurately. Time is ticking coach, it is only a matter of a few more seasons of 8-22 records until you are kicked to the curb. And the day that comes will be the absolute best day of my life. :)"

"I don't recommend this program. I came into this program as a freshmen at about a 7 in skills and I wanted to get better. Improve during the season and aspire to be at least a 9. However, this program has so much drama and so little focus on actual volleyball skills that by the end of my freshmen season, I had gone backwards to like a 5 in skill sets. They say "Iron sharpens Iron." You will not get better in this program at ATU Volleyball under the leadership of Kera Dukic. It will be a waste of your time and it will cause you to go backwards. I was able to transfer and find another school after 1 season of Kera Dukic and during the spring season at my new school, I worked hard to get my skill sets back and was able to improve my sophmore season under a head coach that is professional and not consumed with a bunch of drama.

"I am a former athlete here at Tech. I played another sport here when it was Kera's first year at the university. Abby Davis was also filling in the role of acting Athletic Director. My coach one practice pulled us guys aside as a group about Kera. He told us there was talk of a rumor circulating around campus about Kera having a relationship with one of the Tech athletes on campus. What had happened was they were both at a bar/club and met. They then started to hang out and text each other. The football player then started showing an exchange of pictures and texts between the two. This got reported to Abby Davis and instead of looking into this, she did nothing. She covered it up. Kera had claimed she didn't know he was a Tech athlete when she had met him. She had all the coaches address their team. So our coach told us it was being looked into but to stop talking about it. He never told us if it was true or not which was concerning. "

We have some good friends that are in the 2022 NCAA D2 tournament and we can't show them love or support becausee Kera will get so upset. She has a little spy on the team that tells her if some of us have streaks going with old players and/or if we are on someone's private story.

I would NEVER put my daughter in this type of environment. I know that young people need learn to deal with drama but this is way over the top. No THANK YOU Arkansas Tech University - I will pass on requiring my daughter to navigate the Kera Dukic drama at 18 years old. "

"#1 coming at the girls saying mommy and daddy spoon feed the girls who were mentally and emotionally abused by this woman. It’s sad because your daddy was all up on this trying to get involved as well, so guess you must be spoon fed as well. Along crying for a Lib jersey because it’s ur senior year. What a joke. Maybe you should play better instead of crying for a spot. My experience playing for kera was a wreck and these reviews prove how this coach treats people. Kera’s goal is not to succeed, it’s to control and manipulate as many girls as she can. Once she realizes she can’t control that player she “ releases“ them and says she wishes them nothing but the best but yet gossips about them in her meetings, at team dinners and at practices. This is a depressing sad program especially when we are forced to lie about community service hours so kera looks perfect to the community. This school has so much potential and it’s sad to see it be wasted, these girls have so much potential and all they need is a leader who inspire players to be a good person on and off the court. Clearly that’s not happening."

"one review to over shadow the other reviews? I vividly remember when things don’t go your way you through a fit and complained about it. Whether that be about Kera or your own teammates. You called a player disabled, you talked about me multiple times and others on the team, when you got pulled from games you talked poorly about people that went in for you. Your pathetic. Defending a coach that wanted to kick you off during the season. She called your weak minded and a bully. People reading this, don’t believe me? Ask not only people that played last year and left but, you can also ask current teammates on the team with this group. They were bullies. People voiced their concerns to this coach MULTIPLE times. And this coach sat back in silence. Oh and by the way. You want to talk about mommy & daddy and being kicked off? Didn’t you get kicked off? Didn’t your “mommy and daddy” get involved with your volleyball experiences? Cause that’s what I heard from others. Your pathetic, your just content your playing. The second you don’t play next season get back on here and make a review about your update with this place. Your ridiculous and sold out."

"I wish I could write a review that would overshadow all of these LIES about the most caring coach I have ever played for. I have sat here and read made up story, after made up story about a coach who's only goal is to see her girls succeed both on the court and off. Like most collegiate coaches she holds players ACCOUNTABLE!!!, you fail ALL of your classes? GOOBYE, you have a terrible attitude and refuse to respect the coach that brought you here to play for her? NO CHANCE! She holds adult women to the standards that they should be and when players are angry that she expects us to follow the rules she puts in place they call up mommy and daddy to solve all their issues. The problem isn't coach Kera, its athletes that have never had to work hard for anything in their lives and when they aren't spoon fed what they think they "deserve" more and more excuses are made. NEWS FLASH, if you work hard, respect the person that wants to see you thrive, and buy into the amazing culture coach Kera has created your "problems" no longer exist. Coming from a program that seriously needed help, I can 100% say that coach Kera cares so deeply for her players she would never say or do half of these stories that butt-hurt bench warmers have made up about her. All I wish recruits to know is that coming to play for Kera is AN AMAZING choice that I think God I made everyday. She cares so much for the girls she brings here to Tech and only wants us to succeed. The issue is and never has been Kera, good riddance to the girls that throw shade to a coach that constantly pushed them to be better and goof luck finding a coach that will put up with mommy and daddy holding your hand, its difficult to play volleyball when both your hands are tied up :) WE LOVE COACH KERA and the program is better off without people that wish terrible things on their own teammates and coaching staff!"

Coach Kera filled out paperwork to help the Arkansas player waive their ineligibility but did not fill out that paperwork for my daughter. Coach Kera does show favoritism to Arkansas players over the out of state players. She is unprofessional and dishonest with how she manages and treats the players. Constantly second guessing everything that she says because she lies so much. It's hard to figure out what is truth and what is fiction. I am disappointed in this program and with Coach Kera. "

"This has gotten sent around the whole athletic department here at Tech. Although, Coach Kera is not my coach I would like to share my experience with her. During Halloween we had a meet and somehow our coach found out we had gone out from Halloween. Talking with some of the volleyball girls and telling them what had happen I found out that Coach Kera was the one that fed our coach all of these lies. She told our coach that we went out and drank, and she told them that the baseball players here at Tech that we were hanging out with at the party were using us for s*x. Our coach called our parents and fed them all of these lies that coach Kera told him. I’m appalled. Why are two 30+ year old adults having conversations about 18,19 year old girls personal and s*x life. It’s very creepy and almost pedophilic sounding. I was very embarrassed and upset when my coach called my parents about all of this. Please do not come here both of these coaches have issues. My mental health at this school has been so low.

"I found Kera Dukic's program to have many issues with disorganization, changing expectations, bullying from people in a position of authority, public shaming and lots ands lots of retaliation against players she "doesn't like". She never put the student before the athlete. She made me late to multiple classes and tests. She had us show up to events that she recorded wrong in her calendar, so so many times. NO respect for the students time or gas to drive to these things. However, players are expected to be to practice 15 minutes early, she is always late to the practices that we must be to on time. She would change our practice time, the day of practice, this happens all the time!! At this level, she should have this stuff figured out and show the team the same respect that she is expecting. She does know the game but I have had high schools coaches give better instructions, show more care and encouragement. This program has had issues with her retaliating against players who chose to transfer. She told the team she called this player's new coach to tell them what a bad person our teammate was! We all felt this was to put fear into us that she would do the same thing if we wanted to transfer out. She talks so badly about former players to the current team, it just so uncomfortable for most of us. Her coaching style is negative, fearful and all about HER! She says it is a family but most players leave after 1 year. Review the roster, there is so much turnover that speaks for itself. Kera is unhealthy, she really shouldn't be in a position to lead or influence young women. ATU should do better at vetting out these people. I have been part of programs that demonstrate an all inclusive team culture, respect to all players former or current and an ability to bring the best our in each individual. Kera expects everyone to adjust to her, when in fact she is the coach and she should sense the specific needs of each player. She is a low-level coach, high school at best."

"I am a current player with this program and Coach Kera does want to transform this team to be 100% Arkansas only players. She is making it so difficult for us to go home for Thanksgiving break - most of the out of state players had to change flights and pay the airline change fees ($) because she is being so inconsiderate with our weights schedule. I feel like Coach Kera is doing this on purpose to run off the out of state players off the team - which will free up scholarship money and positions for replacements which she will in turn fill with in state Arkansas players. Arkansas players can drive home and most live within less than 2 or 3 hours from ATU - so no big deal for them to follow Coach Kera's weight schedule. Over Thanksgiving break, I am going to sit down with my parents, show them this website and have a hard discussion about this program. Maybe I should enter the Transfer Portal when I come back from Thanksgiving? I am embarassed to be associated with this program. "

You play for ATU Volleyball and contribute to the 2021 GAC Conference Championship and you are asked NOT to attend the ring ceremony? Coach Kera is so immature. These 2 players were asked NOT to attend because they called Kera out on her GOSSIPPING about them during a team dinner in late August.

"I just completed my final season with this ATU Volleyball Program and I am excited to move on with the next chapter of my life without having to interact with Kera Dukic. Coach Kera Dukic plays below the line - she is defensive and closed off to her players and staff. She hired the graduate assistant last year (2021) to be her Asst Coach this season instead of much more qualified coaches with experience because Coach Kera knew she could control her previous graduate assistant. We spent this season without a GA so the Asst Coach did all the work of a Grad Assistant and ZERO work of an actual Asst Coach. We had no scouting reports this entire season and film was an after thought. Coach Kera uses GOSSIP to control her players and she places fault and blame on everyone to hide her lack of skills to lead and unite a team. Coach Kera gravitates towards CONFLICT. If you are considering playing volleyball at the next level after high school or even a Junior College - please make ATU with Coach Kera your last resort. Only come to ATU for Volleyball if you HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS on the table. Trust me - you don't want to play for Coach Kera Dukic - she will destroy your Mental Health. "

"I hope that ATU has been self-reporting to the NCAA the multiple violations of Coach Kera Dukic Coleman while at ATU. This past season, she purchased a meal and delivered this meal to an ATU volleyball player because of a death. Coach Kera did not bring other ATU volleyball players a meal that night - just the one player. Coach Kera knows this is an NCAA violation because today she REMOVED that player from her roster and stated the player was NCAA non-compliant for accepting the meal. What about Coach Kera - what is her punishment for buying the meal and violating the NCAA rule? How come the player is punished but not the Coach? The volleyball player was very sad about the death of her cousin and wasn't thinking clearly when accepting the meal. What is Coach Kera's excuse?

Mental Abuse Calls In A Local Pastor From Russellville Ar Church To Call The Atu Volleyball Players "Weak Minded"

"Coach Kera has brought in a local pastor from Second Baptist Church of Russellville on several occassions this season that on the surface seems like a good idea. This PASTOR conducted a pod cast called "Player vs Pretender" but one of the sessions, Coach Kera had talked this pastor into deviating from that script and had an intervention. This entire season has been consumed with Coach Kera trying to figure out who is posting all these reviews on this website. She goes absolutely CRAZY every time a review is left and her mission is to try to uncover the source. So this one session, she has this pastor of Second Baptist Church Russellville put the girls into groups. He has one dorm room of 4 girls in a group, the 2 Captains in a group, one poor girl by herself as a "group" and then the rest of the team as a group. She has provided the questions for pastor to use as a way to provoke the girls into fighting with each other in the hopes that someone will get mad and "rat" out the person or person(s) that are writing the reviews. Coach Kera brings in this pastor for this session which lasts 2 hours long and the girls NEVER TOUCH a VOLLEYBALL for 2 hours. This session was so negative and toxic that girls were on the verge of a complete melt down. Girls were sick to their stomach, crying out of control and anticipating hurting themselves from this session. This PASTOR call girls on the ATU Volleyball team "Weak Minded" and was so negative. I don't understand why a PASTOR of a church would want to associate himself with this kind of toxic behavior. What would happen if one of these girls hurt themselves after this session? Who would be responsible - Coach Kera or the PASTOR of Second Baptist Church or Russellville? Why would Coach Kera stand there and let this PASTOR call these girls "Weak Minded"? Because Coach Kera was the one that told the PASTOR what to say. Don't send your daughter to this program. She will be mentally abused the entire season. Mind Games "

"This past season, she purchased a meal and delivered this meal to an ATU volleyball player because of a death. Coach Kera did not bring other ATU volleyball players a meal that night - just the one player. Coach Kera knows this is an NCAA violation because today she REMOVED that player from her roster and stated the player was NCAA non-compliant for accepting the meal. What about Coach Kera - what is her punishment for buying the meal and violating the NCAA rule? How come the player is punished but not the Coach? The volleyball player was very sad about the death of her cousin and wasn't thinking clearly when accepting the meal. What is Coach Kera's excuse?

Being kicked off the court when she wouldn’t explain what I was doing or even COACH me on what I was doing wrong. This women should not be around young women. She makes promise she can’t keep and then can’t take responsibility or apologize or lying. 99% of girls in the program have hated it because kera is toxic. "

"Coach Kera has done some good things for some players. Yes. But does that warrant all the other things? For example, having meetings with players talking about other players, watching film 2 hours before a game, instead of coaching the 6 players on the court she is worried about what her “bench” is doing, and threatens to send them to the locker room. These are all attributes you can see even on the outside looking in. Watch the games, listen closely to how her mannerisms are throughout the game compared to the other coach. You can hear her threaten and cuss out the girls on the bench, and threatening to send them to the locker room. When is that okay? When is that warranted? Yes, she has done some great things for some players but let’s not let that take away from the thousand of other things she has done. And instead of asking her for parents and players to reach for with questions. Just look at the roster and reach out to handful of girls in seasons past. "

"Coach Dukic is a solid coach and is passionate about volleyball. She knows the game and knows what it takes to win. It takes a lot of work, commitment and team unity. Not everyone is cut out for college sports honestly….. even the athletically gifted. They don’t want to be a TEAM player, they want to be a ME player and if they don’t get their way, they will pollute the team with lies….. whatever it takes even cheering against their teammates on Senior night. So sad. Coach Dukic doesn’t cater to selfish players and yes she makes her entire team run bleachers and lift weights. I know it’s crazy, isn’t it? What in the world is coming to college athletics? If you have a question or complaint, her door is open. She will be honest and direct. If a player gets sick at 2:00 am, she will be at the hospital with them. She cares for her players, all of them. If you are considering ATU and Coach Dukic please ask her to give you parent and player references and you can talk to those individuals directly. Don’t be swayed by these ME players. Ask your own questions. Arkansas Tech is an awesome program and a wonderful place to play volleyball. Honestly you couldn’t ask for a better coach than Coach Dukic!"

"If you are a the type of player or person who thinks the rules don’t apply to you cause you are just that good or you are the type of person that is better than everyone else then coach Kera is not for you. If you are used to getting your way always and mommy and daddy have taken care of everything for you then no you won’t like tech. But if you are interested in someone who truly cares about others who ever they may be and treats people with respect then this would be a good fit. Coach Kera is extremely competitive but along with her competitiveness she is truly a caring person. She is not the type of coach that holds back from trying to teach you how to improve your game, she cares about your academics and who you are on and off the court. She wants you to be the best you can be. "

"I played for Coach Kera Dukic in 2019 and 2020 and she was nothing but DRAMA. I originally thought the intense negativity was because we were not her recruits. Our team was recruited and put together by Kristy Bayer and I thought that Coach Kera treated us bad because we weren't really "her girls." Coach Kera treated us with total disrespect. She would change plans last minute and cancel things with less than a 30 minute notice. She would send text messages and total flip out if you didn't hit a thumbs up within 15 minutes so she could see that you read the text. I understood the confirmation of the text message but sometimes I would be driving and she would start blasting my phone with text messages because I hadn't hit thumbs up within the 15 minutes. When I would explain that I was driving, she didn't care and would even say "stop lying." She would call me a liar and was so confrontational. She was completely unrealistic. She had an Assistant Coach - Nook (?)- who was very technical. His scouting reports were great but he was just the assistant and she was also disrespectful to him. She would roll her eyes every time he talked to us and she would make fun of him when he was not around. One word to describe Coach Kera is DISRESPECTFUL. "

"I'm a parent of an ATU VB player. I can say without a doubt that we’ve had more experience and first-hand knowledge, from a parent’s perspective, of the program since Coach Kera took over than anyone else. She is a good coach that cares about her players and their families. We’ve experienced this first-hand to a far greater extent than what we could have ever imagined; and her response was greater than what could possibly be expected. Arkansas Tech is a great university, and the school and VB program is an outstanding opportunity for young adults. It's been a joy for us to get to know the student athletes and their families. Is it easy for the athletes? No. The time, effort and struggles of a college student athlete are demanding. This isn’t high school or club VB, and every situation isn’t ideal for everyone. Finally, I’m Mark Solberg. I don’t hide behind social media post. My phone number is (501) 472-7503 and you can call me anytime. "

"Coach Golden is easily the most influential Coach i have ever had. Yes, he is intense and loud because he cares, but is expected from a strength coach. He is one of the only coaches in the football program that made everything worth it. Even after football, We normally talk and catch up. Redshirt workouts were amazing as we all felt sub-par because we did not travel with the rest of the team, but Golden gave us the craziest workouts you could ever think of that made you rely on teammates to get done in order to finish. You would hate him during the workout, but afterwards he would tell you how well you did or how you could fix what you are struggling with. He single handedly made the redshirts and scout team the closest and best knit part of the team and in return made the whole team better as a whole. He has worked with high caliber schools and NFL prospects and I would highly recommend Coach Golden 10/10."

"The OBU game was a loss for Tech - and Coach Kera wants to blame the players from the bench for not cheering loud enough. Coach said she wants to pull film to see how loud some of the Tech volleyball girls are cheering during a game from the sidelines. Yet this same Coach won't bother to watch game film on OBU until 2 hours before warm up to play OBU. The FOCUS of this COACH is on the WRONG thing(s). After every game, she comes into the locker room and threatens to kick players off the team and to pull scholarship money. Coach Kera does more threatening than she does Coaching. "

Not a shocker to hear it is still happening bc no one listen then. I give her 2 stars for knowledge bc she actually really knew the game, but as a coach her style didn't motivate or unite so only 2 stars. Practice was unpredictable and our schedule changed always. have some awesome memories with my team and I know some of them would share a different story bc she didn't mistreat everyone, It's okay if its only some people that's what I learned at ATU. Lets just say I am still in the community and we don't recommend athletes to that program."

"Past player: definitely favoritism.drama. Inappropriate relationships. Disorganization. Disrespect to her own staff and players. If you don't hate who she hates then you pay. Loved like 90% of my professors! ATU needs a new coach. "

"Not the right fit for our daughter. The culture was aggressive and very controlling. Completely different from when we visited, we felt like we got a 180ed. Very little time was left for our daughter outside of volleyball even in the off season, we felt her academics were not placed as priority number 1. We felt the amount time for volleyball vs what is left for studies, personal time and a social life was imbalanced and really not for discussion. Kera wants what she wants. This issue arose time and time again. We too heard about the team's continuing inner fighting and thought this is just typical stuff but it is not anything typical. We were thankful our daughter was able to navigate the experience and fair better than others. I myself was a college athlete many many years ago and things were different then! Kera could improve her professionalism, organization, prioritization and her ability to unite the team. "

"I’ve played volleyball for a long time and I can honestly say that Coach Kera is the best coach that I have ever had. I have never before had a coach that not only cared about me as a player but even more as a person. Since I got to Tech I have seen her go out of her way for players and their family’s- making extreme sacrifices to do so. She does everything she can to ensure that this program is a family. She has without a doubt made me a better volleyball player in my time here so far, but even more than that she has shown what it looks like to be a strong, selfless, determined leader, and I hope to take that influence with me after my time in the program. I would without a doubt recommend! "

"I played here for a couple of years and at first it seemed like the perfect fit! I was so excited for this new chapter in my life, new friends, new atmosphere, new coach, just new everything! After a couple of months I had recognized a couple of red flags, like being in the office thinking that we are going to talk about volleyball, instead talking about other players. Kera makes you feel like her office is safe and that your conversations stay with her… that was not the case. Not only would she talk about just players, she also would speak negatively about her coaching staff while also disrespecting them at practice. Players behind the scenes would talk about how we could run a better practice than her because we do the same drills nearly everyday along without knowing which mood of Kera’s you were going to get that day. Last year is girls all went out for Halloween and yes we all drank, should we have? No because it was a dry season and knew we shouldn’t of. Well we lost a game a couple of days later and one player who had a very inappropriate relationship with kera walked up to the front of the bus and told kera we all went out. So kera stood up and asked who all drank that weekend to raise their hands, after that we never really had a true day off because she would make us wake up early every weekend to do film, team activities, or mostly community service. So we were all so mentally and physically exhausted. Not to mention we were watching film specifically against HSU and Kera thought it was appropriate to say about the player number 12 that she is “ratchet and ghetto but that’s okay for me to say because I married a black man so I’m not racist.” To the people on this review page attacking those who had terrible experiences at ATU, that’s not fair and one day you realize the situations you are going through aren’t normal or healthy. You are still loved by those who left just know people have different experiences when they aren’t a favorite of Kera’s. "

"As a parent, I was extremely disappointed in the treatment of parents and players from out of state. We saw favoritism, fear tactics and disrespect constantly. We pulled her out as quick as possible after only one season. I wouldn't recommend sending your daughter to Kera Dukics program. She seems to be in fear of loosing her own job so the unchoosen ones get the brunt of her anxiety. My daughter was also always streeses because the program was so unorganized and it effected her classes. Since moving on to another school, we have seen it done right! This is what our family experience. Just hoping others girls can enjoy their collegiate experience."

I watched everything unfold before my eyes and thankfully left when I could. My mental health plummeted when I arrived at Arkansas Tech and did not get the help I deserved. I was left on the back burner and had my own teammates talking behind my back and trying to kick me off the team. Culture? As if. A memorable story? Finally winning a ring. "

"We lost a game and she wouldn’t feed us. Told us all to enter the portal and that she doesn’t care. Begged us to win a game or else she’d lose her job (told us that directly). Endless stairs and jump rope when we could be working on actual volleyball. Stalks your social media and judges. Body shamed a component on film. Everyone on the team goes to a counselor because of her. So many girls transferred last year and not once did she think to look at herself. Politics, she will play her favorites rather than the best players. When her puppets don’t play they say they’ll quit or cry then they get their starting spot back when wrongfully deserved. She’s just very manipulative, toxic, and inappropriate to say the least. If you want to get better at volleyball, don’t count on it here. I’m sure she’s a fun person outside of volleyball but as a coach it’s just too much. "

"Coach Kera is the best Coach I have had in my 13 years of playing volleyball and I can say that confidently on public record, I have played with her for ALL 5 years as a collegiate athlete. She cares for you as a person, a student, and a player. Coach has been there with me through my darkest times. I could go into more detail but she never gave up on me once, and she would do that for ANY of her players. She pushes me in ways that I know I am going to succeed outside of volleyball. She has so much knowledge about the game and always helps me in areas that I personally need to improve on. She is personal and is dedicated to each player on achieving their individual goals. I will also say on public record the previous reviews about Coach are SO far from the truth and are from people who didn't buy into the program and culture of our team, all of these players have been to multiple schools and would say the same thing about the previous Coach. If that isn't a red flag, it should be because the problem is not the Coach. Previous review makers- If you take a jab at my Coach, I am not afraid to call you out on this review. Our culture that Coach has for this program is that we are a family no matter what. We care for one another, we motivate each other, and we win as one. We get treated SO well, that goes for coaching style, apparel, FOOD, team activities, and etc. WE are truly lucky to have this coaching staff that cares about us this much. I have the utmost respect for Coach Kera and her program. I hope you trust in what I am saying because I can confidently say I would not have spent my 5 years playing for anyone else. "

He knows what he’s doing, he knows recruiting and he knows stats and films more than any person I’ve ever know. We had the most detailed scouting reports and the most amazing edited film. He is very technical I know some peoples brains don’t work like that but if you let him teach you and open up to genuinely trying something new and seeing it through his coaching perspective it’s apparent how knowledgeable he is! He has a love for his players and works extremely hard for them. "

"I will have lasting damage into my adult life because of this program and this coach. These coaches are suppose to be a part of building the foundation of your adult life: leaving home for the first time, starting college, building a young confident woman. But she does anything but that, she will rip you to shreds, manipulate you, control you in every which way and in ways you didn’t even know were possible, there’s two lengthy reviews on here and I really hope you take the time to read them because they are 100% true. I was body shamed in a program that’s suppose to be “body positivity” all the time. I beg you… do not go here. I do not say this lightly but some one, one day will be pushed way too far by this coach that they will seriously harm themselves. I’m disgusted by the university system that this woman is allowed to one represent them and two not listen to the concerns of MULTIPLE players who’s came to them and pleaded for something to be done or just to be heard. Look at the rosters, her retention rate is horrible. There’s so many red flags here how is nothing ever been done? And all of us are so scared because this woman is RETALIATORY never in my life would I thought I’d describe a coach as retaliatory! I could write a novel about how bad, unorganized, manipulative, degrading this program is. I thought about taking my life when I was in this program… please do not go here and please read the other reviews."

"Where do I even begin. If you thoroughly enjoy the game of volleyball and want to play at the next level please do NOT come here. Firstly, to describe the coach she is manipulative, dishonest, inconsiderate, untrustworthy, and condescending. On your visit she will tell you what you want to hear. She will tell you that you will play coming in. NOT true. She will have 8 other girls she is either recruiting or that are already here or committed to playing here. Look at the roster yourself it is in the 20s. She will say she is big on team culture. But In reality she isn’t. She only cares about making herself look better. Kera’s coaching style is FEARFUL and DISORGANIZED. She will change practice the day of. She will send you to events that she has wrong in the calendar, and she always forgets our class schedules or messes them up. During practice or games if things are not going in her favor she breaks down and finds things or people to blame it on. Instead of taking accountability for herself. One game in particular she lost and when the athletes got onto the bus she made everyone raise their hand if they went out that weekend prior. She then elaborated and asked if players were drinking or not. I found this to be extremely disrespectful because, not only did she give girls that weekend off but it also pitted a lot of the team against each other. And the loss had nothing to do with people going out that weekend prior or not. She simply just got out coached. Although 2021 was a very successful year it was mentally draining for everyone. She had an inappropriate relationship with one of the players on the team. She would let the girl stay the night at her house, she took her car keys, and would always be in communication with the girl. The girl one game got pulled and she said on the sidelines “coach has to pull the whole starting lineup because she knows if she just pulled me I would kill myself. “ Everyone else on the team was very worried and scared after she said that. The whole relationship was built off of manipulation. The girl had no business playing college volleyball she needed to get professional help. But coach allowed the poor behavior. During meetings she also loves to talk poorly about other players instead of talking about volleyball. This is just a small bit of what goes on in this program. Yes, I know that all programs have their issues but, this program is bad. It is built on manipulation, fearfulness, and disorganization. And masked with trying to put up a front that she is all about team culture and identity. I really pray either Kera wakes up and does some self evaluating or ATU will one day but the student athletes first and find someone that will be a positive face for young women in college athletics.

"The other review before this one is 100% correct. This coach is about all of the opposite things you would want in a coach. One thing that she does is okay a lot of mind games. She will recruit about 8 girls in the same position as you and tell every single one of you that you will start or play. When she loses games she never takes ownership that she was out coached. She will instead have an intense huddle and say passive aggressive things to the whole team to make everyone question if it is them she is talking about or not. If you would like to excel at the next level this program is not for you at all. She is not fit to lead young woman. And ATU should be ashamed of themselves for keeping her around this long when players have come forward about issues they have had with her. Just to add to the fact she also has a DUI that she obtained while she was a coach here and they still didn’t fire her. "

Poor Communication Disorganized Intense Believes In You Dedicated To Players

"I found Kera Dukic's program to have many issues with disorganization, changing expectations, bullying from people in a position of authority, public shaming and lots ands lots of retaliation against players she "doesn't like". She never put the student before the athlete. She made me late to multiple classes and tests. She had us show up to events that she recorded wrong in her calendar, so so many times. NO respect for the students time or gas to drive to these things. However, players are expected to be to practice 15 minutes early, she is always late to the practices that we must be to on time. She would change our practice time, the day of practice, this happens all the time!! At this level, she should have this stuff figured out and show the team the same respect that she is expecting. She does know the game but I have had high schools coaches give better instructions, show more care and encouragement. This program has had issues with her retaliating against players who chose to transfer. She told the team she called this player's new coach to tell them what a bad person our teammate was! We all felt this was to put fear into us that she would do the same thing if we wanted to transfer out. She talks so badly about former players to the current team, it just so uncomfortable for most of us. Her coaching style is negative, fearful and all about HER! She says it is a family but most players leave after 1 year. Review the roster, there is so much turnover that speaks for itself. Kera is unhealthy, she really shouldn't be in a position to lead or influence young women. ATU should do better at vetting out these people. I have been part of programs that demonstrate an all inclusive team culture, respect to all players former or current and an ability to bring the best our in each individual. Kera expects everyone to adjust to her, when in fact she is the coach and she should sense the specific needs of each player. She is a low-level coach, high school at best. "

Disorganized Poor Communication

"I would not recommend this coach and she shouldn't be in a role to lead young people. The whole program is unorganized. She does not have skill or knowledge to teach or coach this sport. Her instructions were very limited and vague, mostly because the Head Coach didn't let her instruct at all. Kennedy is the type of coach that sits back to judge then has behind -the-scenes conversations with the coach. When her tattling when come back it was exaggerated or twisted, so unhealthy! She didn't demonstrate an ability to bring people together or contribute to a positive environment. I found her to be disrespectful and dishonest in most situations. She is unsupportive of players with injuries or sit the bench. "
