"He is very understanding of college culture in a time where some coaches don't necessarily understand. He wants to the best for you, but also wants the best for his team as well, which makes perfect sense. The number one thing with Coach Cornell is honesty and integrity and it makes for a better relationship with him and with peers in general."

One of the best player development coaches I have ever seen when it comes to adding skill to natural talent. If players trust in Coach Nagles system it is hard to not be successful."

"Contradicted himself on all phases. Would give defensive strategy during practice, come down 15 minutes later and change everything. The one year he decided to bypass a team vote for captains, he himself nominated a captain who he eventually kicked off the team for being uncommitted.... Says he is open to honest conversations, but once you tell him how you feel (and if it's not in his favor) he rips you apart and tells you how wrong you are.His way or the highway, no suggestions for strategy."
