Honest Intense Develops Team Beyond The Field Players Coach Accessible

"Tidey is one of the best coaches I’ve ever had. I spent 3 years at DU and was drafted out of there. If you know Tidey, you know he is an outstanding person, father, friend, AND coach! Literally don’t have enough good things to say about him.. he will challenge you everyday to get better. If you don’t like that as a parent or player, go somewhere else that will hold your hand and tell you it’s okay. If you want to see what you’re truly capable of, go play for Kevin Tidey."

"The bottom line is people aren’t comfortable getting verified because at Davenport we have been threatened multiple times by multiple people in leadership. At one point it was threatened they would use their own computer hackers so like not going to lie with that legitimate threat how can anyone feel comfortable on any platform. I would advise people to stay away from this place."

Knows The Game Honest Intense Passionate About Coaching Cares About Academics

"I played for Coach Tidey for 3 years. He is one of the best coaches you can ask for. He will be 100% honest with you, which is needed in college sports and isn’t afraid to tell you where you stand. He will give you an opportunity if you deserve it, and gives players great opportunities to prove themselves in mid-week JV games and if you perform you’ll get your opportunity. Overall, he is a great coach that I would gladly choose to play for over and over again."

"Easy to confirm the athletic department and Ronda were aware of an intimate relationship between a coach and player and did nothing about it. In fact they let it go on for months. Call in coaches and the players of the men and women’s basketball team to confirm. These sick people hide behind their power. I would never send anyone to DU. "

"Hilarious the uneducated morons that post. The softball program used the baseball field on multiple occasions with Amber, Kathryn and Brad. Maybe do your research before positing something negative. It’s my understanding Amber and Kathryn held student athletes to higher standards compared to the baseball program. Tough deal. Multiple alumni can confirm. "

"Paul is Joe Biden! Knowingly promoting employees that know of bad things happening like employees being in relationships with athletes and being rewarded for staying silent - raises and career advancement. Should be investigated but I bet if it is or was they are so corrupt they will cover it all up. The corruption runs deep"
