"Very old school. Plays a 1970's-80's style of basketball which is awful to watch (and play) and not effective in today's game. Doesn't get the most out of his players. Hasn't changed his style and philosophy as the game has changed and evolved. Doesn't understand effective field goal percentage at all. Incorrectly compares 2 PT shooters and 3 PT shooters efficiency using straight FG percentage rather than eFG percentage (which gives the accurate comparison taking into account that a 3 PT shot gives you 1.5 times more points than a 2 PT shot.) Still plays a boring, half-court game with way too much dribbling and very little passing and ball movement."

Intense Knows The Game

"He really doesn’t care about his players at all. He has a few favorites and even those that get a lot of playtime don’t like him. He’s been known to be abusive (physically and mentally) and I’ve watched it happen. He is “a man of God” which is a cover for being abusive to his players. He’s a winning coach so the university protects him. But there’s no reason to deal with a guy like this at a D2 school. "

"This guy had 6 years to recruit a team and he failed miserably. Nothing but incompetence and losing seasons. The team put forth effort in spite of the lackluster inspiration given by the head coach Dan Torie and it was reflected on the field with disappointment. 0 stars "

Knowledgeable Cares About Academics Knows The Game Old School Mentality Poor Communication

"Very knowledgeable coach. I wouldn’t recommend him if you believe in the value of team culture. He will take away all of your play time with no explanation, and he wont tell you areas of improvement. He doesn’t believe in momentum or that there’s less oxygen in higher altitudes. He coaches from a notecard (that he makes the weekend before with all substitutions and the corresponding times to sub them) and doesn’t deviate from the notecard no matter what’s happening in the game"
