"He’s now the head coach at Goshen and we’re the worst team they’ve had in a while. The concerning part is that the same 9 guys have been playing all year. Practice all off season is a joke. We have 0 team lifts, and our lifting program is a bunch of Olympic lifts that no one knows how to do properly without getting hurt. Our “strength coach” comes once a year to show us the lifts. I believe Brad genuinely cares and he’s a nice person but he is not a good head collegiate coach. He makes 0 adjustments and let’s his emotions get the best of him time after time. When grown men that are college baseball players cry because they made an error or struck out or had a bad outing… he reinforces that behaviour by coddling them and giving them more playing time then the guys who just get their work in. He also has no help from his pitching coach. The entire staff has had arm pain at some point or is currently injured because the pitching coach just used a copy past plyo ball velo program without knowing what every drill is even doing for us. Pitchers come here and after four years they leave worse then they were. The amount of pointless meetings we’ve had is insane. We come « scout the other team » when in reality we come talk bad about the other and act like we’re gonna beat them then we lose by 15-20. It’s just a joke. How can you expect to win when you have 0 development throughout the offseason. We also shouldn’t even be in our conference. We get embarrassed on a weekly basis and when we lose two by 10 he gets in the team huddle and tells us we’re inspiring him and that he loves us and proud of us. The least motivating coach. Genuinely a nice person so no one would want to tell him that some of the things he’s doing is pointless "

"Hands-down the best coach I’ve ever had. He saw a potential in me that I didn’t even see in myself and helped me realize it to an amazing extent. He has an open door policy and I would regularly go in and just chat with him about anything from training to academics to just regular everyday topics. He’s a family man who brings that wholesomeness to the cross and track teams. He loves everything to do with running, and that will become apparent from day one. Rustin always finds ways to bring the team close together. At the start of every preseason, the whole team spends a weekend at a state park near the college to do workouts and relax. I cannot express how much my time at Goshen College has meant to me. The hardest part about graduating has been continuing to live in town and seeing the teams run by on their mileage runs knowing I am no longer on the team, and that says a lot about the culture Rustin has created!
