"Coach Marks is all about winning. Of course everyone wants to win, but with negative comments and poor leadership when losing games puts unnecessary pressure on players. As a young coach, Marks hangs out with players in his office, at first this seemed like a great way to connect with players and bond. However, there was so much gossip happening that made players feel uncomfortable, as well as the fact the Marks cannot keep a secret. If a player wants to know something, just ask him 2-3 time and then the cat is out of the bag. Hanging out with players also causes favoritism, and another Avenue for gossip. This caused horrible team chemistry and as a team that calls itself a brotherhood, this just did not fit. Marks is a friary coach passionate about winning. I do believe that many of his flaws will diminish as he grows and matures as a coach. He knows the game very well, and usually makes in game decisions well. If you are strictly looking to win, you may like coach marks, but if you are looking for a team to develop and grow as a person and player, this may not be the team for you."

"Coach Palladino transcends sport. He embodies it. With every fiber of his being, he pushes his runners to their very best. He is passionate about running and people. It's his life's mission to unlock the runner's spirit within everyone he meets. He inspires us to greatness. Long live the Flying Buttress!"

"Coach Hampson embodies the spirit of cross country with everything she does and says. She inspires her runners to excellence. As the Rolling Stone, her marathon and ultra marathon finishes drive us to finish well. I wouldn't be who I am today without Coach Hampson's impact on my life. "
