"Plays favorites, especially international players. Can be verbally abusive to players. Was under university investigation for verbally abusing players. Doesn't recruit outside of viewing highlight films. Left Clayton State for a D1 opportunity. Good for us, bad for them"

"People think D2 sports are a joke, but they're not. I worked harder playing soccer under coach Peterson than I have for anything in my life and had an amazing time. D2 athletics are no joke. You should consider yourself lucky if you get to play a college sport."
