Direct Honest Cares About Academics Develops Team Beyond The Field Fitness Is Important

"Coach Stanton is one of the best in the game. If you didn’t like her, it probably has more to do with YOU & Your work ethic than anything she did or said. She will do anything & everything to help you succeed on & off the field. Grades are massively important, but being a better person when you leave her program is the most important thing to her. I’m extremely grateful for Stanton & her staff, I’m not sure I’d have a degree or the coaching career I have without them. She’s one of those coaches who will push you past your limits to help you realize your talent. Once you’ve made it through her program, you realize you really can achieve anything you set your heart to. I frequently tell stories to my current athletes about her, nothing but respect for Coach.

"Habitual liar. Another coach that claims to care but only ever took care of her favorite players. Go to her church, baby sit her kids and you are a starter. Claimed publicly to talk and get feedback from parents ? Never heard from her in 2 years. Her record doesn’t back up her ego. "

"Ray Looze cares more about you as an asset instead of a person. He is a great salesman and makes you feel like a top priority as a recruit but when you are on the team you either perform or you are ignored and not cared about. He believes in old school type of training and the workouts are intense. There is a high turnover rate of coaches."

"One of the worst college experiences ever. Would not tell my enemy to play for coach moren. Heavily plays favorites, blames everything on assistants and players..contacted other schools to ask if coaches wanted some of the players she didnt want for the next season. can think of up to 15 players that quit or transferred. Not a great communicator"

"The least understanding coach in NCAA Division I wrestling. Does not value his wrestlers opinions, wants, or needs. Tries to have his wrestlers come back from injury before they are cleared. Has had multiple incidences at Indiana University where he has almost been fired because of incidences with roughness and threats toward his athletes."
