"Claiming he was fostering a competitive environment, but only created an uncomfortable, anxiety filled, and damaging environment, ruining many swimmers love for the sport, including mine. I was consistently put down by him and the team he created. He does not treat his men and woman’s teams equally, favoring the men’s heavily, practices catered towards the men’s team only. He has a very large ego which causes his to be blind to the mistakes me has made and refuses to fix them. Smith claims to support athletes with mental heath issues, but only has punished them by removing them from travel meets and from practices. He does not support individual athletes, unless favored by him, at all. His coaching style was average at best, little knowledge on new techniques. Only looked to increase physical strength rather than improve technique in order to improve times. Often blames the athlete for not improving instead of looking at what he could change for practices to cater to their needs."

"Honestly just an awful coach. I played lacrosse my entire life for an amazing competitive high school program with coaches who were stars at schools like Syracuse. But I immediately lost the love I had for the game the second I went to Binghamton, and got so unmotivated I left lol. No hate but please like if anyone sees this who's interested, please go somewhere else, I would feel awful for you to feel the way I felt. The assistance are chill tho"

"I wish I had seen these reviews a few years ago. One of the worst managers I have had the misfortune to know. Has no clue about the game, and absolutely no clue how to manage young people. Gives zero support or encouragement. How can a coach with such a poor record and reputation remain in his position for 20 years+?"

"Very nice man and definitely cares about his players but has a tendency to kill girls confidence and be stubborn. Games clearly need adjustments and a change of pace and he’s stuck on the same line up no matter how hard you prove yourself. If I could do it over, I would definitely give other coaches a chance at other schools. "

"Only cares about himself and his reputation. Cares for men's team more than women's team since they are like his "sons" because he recruited the first group of men when they were reinstated and treats the women with disrespect unless they are his puppet and don't do anything wrong. He says failing is a part of life, but you can't fail when it is under his watch or time or energy. Does not communicate news or update in a timely manner and expects everyone to be on time for things / remember his 5 page emails word for word. He also says beginning of every year that the team as a whole will work on starts with each other / with the coaches once a week, that does not happen until 3 days before team departs for conference. Just saying, don't swim or dive under him unless you can win conference. "
