"I am deeply disappointed with the conduct of this basketball coach. During practices and games, they frequently curse at and physically hit athletes, which is completely unacceptable. This behavior creates a hostile and unsafe environment, and it is not conducive to learning, teamwork, or personal growth. I strongly advise parents and athletes to be cautious, as this type of coaching crosses the line of professionalism and basic decency."

"I was extremely disappointed with my experience. The coaching felt disorganized and inconsistent, with little attention to proper technique or individual athlete needs. Communication was poor, and feedback was often unclear or contradictory. Training sessions seemed rushed and lacked structure, making it hard to improve or feel motivated. I would not recommend this coach for anyone serious about developing in track and field."
"James was a great coach- prioritized his teammates and the game first. Extremely efficient and organized to create the best environment for his team. He also made sure that the moral and communication was always positive. Overall he is a very motivated team player! "
"Coach G is a phenomenal Coach. He works with each athlete at their current fitness level and pushes them past their boundaries. He expects you to commit but also understands that life happens, so he doesn't penalize you for it. The best coach I've had so far hands down! I will be returning to Cross Country next year and I will run a sub 30 8K :)"
"Andrew Gangemi is extremely dedicated and passionate about everything he commits to. He is involved on campus and wants to help students and athletes in any way he can. "
"She is a devoted coach who needs to learn how to use her players more affectly. She is there for us 100% and will stand by and defend us until the end. She takes care of us on campus making sure we have the best opportunities and support in the classroom. On the field she is extremely intense and expects us to give us our all every single day. She also gets set in her ways with the starting lineup. She could switch things up occasionally to ensure we are getting the best from everyone."
