"Not knowledgeable enough to be a division 1 program coach. Hired her now girlfriend as her asst coach. Passionate, but disorganized. We had 2 plays my entire college career. "

Poor Communication

"Not motivational. Narrow vision, blind to the team's full potential. Sets player expectations but fails to enforce them, rewarding bad behavior. Some of the best players don't see the field. Favorites are over played and get hurt because they don't get rest days. The same players are relied on without earning it. Record reflects this. 5 years at the helm, no playoff appearances. Disrespects assistant coaches in front of players, treats them like subordinates rather than colleagues."

Poor Communication

"Honestly, this coach has no business leading a Division 1 program. He doesn’t really understand the game at a high level and tries to run a system that doesn’t make sense and clearly doesn’t work. It felt like we were just going through the motions with no real purpose or direction. He also showed zero concern for athletes’ mental health. There was no support, no checking in—just pressure with no understanding. On top of that, he constantly disrespected his own staff, even though he always talked about being a “united front” in front of the team. It was all talk, no action. Itfelt like he was more about control than actually helping us grow. It was frustrating, draining, and honestly disappointing to be part of. He is mentally unstable and takes out his personal matters and emotions on players. "

"Coach is well aware of the toxicity on his team and does nothing about it. There is no team building activities promoted or encouraged. He promises his players playtime, tells them to warm up and never puts them in. Highly favors his international recruits even when his bench players are beating us starters during practice. Personally, I don’t know how he’s been here for this long. If you are looking to play here, I’d check the roster. Coach makes empty promises. 16 International players will tell you what you need. So many kids transfer to other D1 programs play at their school so it’s definitely not ability. "

Believes In You Disorganized Fitness Is Important Old School Mentality Poor Communication

"Honestly in my 4 years at Iona, Brian has been a huge pain in my behind. He honestly doesn’t know much about the sport and I(One of his best male athletes in program history) and other decorated athletes (male and female) have expressed only negative things about Brian’s ability to coach a division1 program.
