"Don’t go to this school if you are a pitcher! More time is spent messing around in the bullpen than actually working on pitching and developing. Considering this is a D1 program the professionalism and dedication to working on what will actually develop players is extremely lacking. Pitching coach is more focused on personal life than being innovative and teaching players how to be at the top of their game. <3"
"The most difficult and disrespectful coach I’ve ever met lied about her documents and claimed she was fully checked by the athletic department. Because of her, 20+ girls quit tennis, transferred, or developed mental issues after her coaching. She abused girls physically and mentally, and all the reports the girls submitted to the athletic department went nowhere because she is best friends with people in the department who cover up the abuse simply because she won the conference. She won conferences because the girls were good, not because she is a good coach—she knows nothing about tennis. If you want to save your child, do not send her to FIU if Katarina Petrovic is the coach. FIU as a school is really nice, but the team is not"
"Hello! We were students at FIU and we were coached by Katarina Petrovic. At first we did not believe that person could be that evil and non ethical towards players. But we faced with it. Examples: Racism towards international and American students, body shaming daily, cursing and if you want to speak your opinion she is making you run or do another punishment, such as not giving you food or not letting you play your match during a tournament. She has angry issues, that she is provoking you and makes you cry, even tho we saw how she hit our teammate by saying her opinion. We are not allowed to bring our phones because she doesn't want to have proofs, but we have. I hope next generation will fired this evil coach. "
"If you are playing great, you are a favorite. If you make a mistake, be prepared for him to not look or speak to you until you made up for your mistake. Yeah, went weeks until I had a “good game” or “hero” again. These games crushed me and lost my passion for the game. But, I learned to get tough, and became a stronger athlete for the next school I transferred to and learned to lead and help fellow teammates. Very knowledgeable and knows the game. "

"Rita Crockett will go down as one of the worst coaches, if not one of the worst human beings I’ve ever encountered. Check the FIU volleyball roster from 2013-2018, there are never more than 4 returners every year. Every season more and more student athletes choose to transfer than put up with her abuse. So emotionally abusive, I still refer her to be the reason why I came a coach, so no athlete would ever endure what she put me through"
"First year as a coach at Fordham. From knowing him so far he's a pretty cool dude who cares about the program and especially the players. He can relate to what we go through because he was a D1 athlete. He's honest, direct and funny. So, pretty excited on what he's going to bring to the program. "
"Doesn't know how to rally the team together. Multiple players on the team are transferring because of him. Blamed whole season on the players and not being tough instead of terrible play calling and leadership skills. Team as a whole does not want to play for him."
"Has the potential to be a very good head football coach, but for now should stick to an assistant gig. Knowledgeable at what he is doing, but sometimes feels the pressure of in game situations and makes poor calls. Needs to learn how to motivate and bring the team together, then will become a very successful head coach."
"He gets mentally flustered too easily which hinders the offense. He knows a lot of football but not good at managing a whole team. He needs to get his team to buy in and want to play for him. He also is young so he has room to grow."
