"Overall, the experience was not great. I will commend him on his ability to put together a great a tournament schedule and develop his own events, however that it is as much praise as I can give. As a coach, he is very set in his ways which is not necessarily, but he refuses to learn or adapt to newer information, making him come off as more of a tyrant than a coach, because when he tells you something and it doesn't work immediately it is because you are not "listening" and he gets angry. This creates a toxic cycle and reinforces a negative view of ones game and attitude. A lot of these problems could be avoided if he had an assistant coach or simply did not impose his own teachings onto his players, but because he must rule with an iron fist, he will not get or keep an assistant coach. As far as character goes, he came off as a hard coach initially, but I believe him to just be more of a dictator or just a very negative person, unfortunately. The team culture was not actually that bad, because the players stuck together and tried to make light of the situation. Overall, I think the program had a good chance to develop well, but I think that something needs to change as far as coaching goes."
"She’s intense as hell and the standard is high every single day but you always know she cares. Coach will push you harder than anyone, call you out when you’re coasting, and still be the first person fighting for you behind closed doors. You don’t play for her if you want comfortable you play for her if you want to become better."
"Coach McCall is the best coach I have ever had. I have never had someone believe and buy into me like she has. She cares about all her players as people first and athletes second. Obviously her job is to win, so she will play her best 9 and she is honest about that and that you need to prove it at practice or in fall/preseason if you want to play. She encourages players that if they have any questions on what their current role is on the team and if they aren’t satisfied with it, how they can change that, to go talk to her and have a conversation. Other than softball, she always asks how players are doing in their personal life with family, school, and their social life. She wants the best for her players and preaches the importance of developing strong young women. Fantastic coach and person 10/10 recommend."
"Jeremy Groves lacks passion, game knowledge, and any drive to succeed. He had the most seniors in the NCAA on his team, yet prioritized his own self-ambition over any decent decisions. Going 0-14 is a feat, as most would have to TRY to lose that bad. Don’t trust your daughters to be coached by this man, if you can even call him a “coach”."
