"This is an honest review from the parent of the former player. While Brian generally cares about his players and does his best to motivate them and push them to do their best, this review describes his coaching knowledge and ability. To put it in a few words his knowledge and understanding of the game is average. His style is average to poor. Important parts of the game are not taught or encouraged. Lots of mindless plays, running and kicking. Some games are borderline ugly and upsetting to watch. Poor recruitment process of new players. If you are skilled player with good understanding of the game I would strongly recommend another school. Hope this review was helpful to all who read it."

"I personally had a great experience as a player for her. If you put in the work great things will happen and she helps you be successful. As a player I was competitive and our team wanted to win and she wants everyone to learn more about one another and it becomes easier on the field. You become life long friends and she led us to the World Series. Not sure how she is as a coach now but if you needed mental toughness to succeed "

Intense Knows The Game Direct Cares About Academics Old School Mentality

"Coach Marg will not show up to practices purposefully so you would have more practices than the NCAA would allow. If you are a pitcher I highly do not recommend pitching for this coach she will make you cry on the mound and if you are injured she will force you to pitch through the injury. The worst part is about this coach if you are a pitcher she will blame you for every lose so be mental ready for that. If you are not white she will not play you if you are straight you will most likely not play She is not motivating or helpful unless you are one of her favorites. She does not care about your mental health or physically health. the practices will not help you be a better athlete please steer away unless you have a good relationship with her before going into the program."
