"In all my year in this sport and having many coaches,Matt Johnson is by far the second worst human to walk the planet in the game. Team is successful but at what cost? More girls leave the program than stay. Many leave the sport forever after a season with him. Many just transfer. Good question to ask at your recruiting."

He says one thing and does another. 17 non seniors left the program after his first year. 10 left non seniors the second year. Don’t believe a word he says hold a 4- person roster. Rarely gives anyone a change to touch the field Says he is the meds coach but he is the WOMANS COACH"
