"Great person. Works hard to meet you where you are at in life. He won’t force the relationship, but will be genuine with you. He helped me mature and did it with grace when needed and with punishment when deserved. Smart X’s and O’s coach. Best special teams coach i ever saw. Has won championships coordinating offense and defense. Not a rah rah guy, but is believable and honest. Loyal to his players and school. "

"Unprofessional tried to act like a friend to the players and would create drama amongst the team telling different players different things. Late to practice and showing up for the bus on road weekends. Lacked knowledge and when players would ask questions or ask for drill clarification would just walk away or ignore them "

"Coach Dau knows the game better than anyone as a hall of fame coach with 50+ national titles. He is honest and caring. He will be direct and let you know where you are at and what you need to work on. He cares about his athletes on and off the court, helping in any way he can. Any athlete, football or handball, male or female, that has had the privilege to work with Coach Dau can agree that it was a tremendous honor to play for such an amazing man. "

"Nice guy off of the field but wouldn't recommend as a coach. Has cared less and less about the team as his tenure goes on, inconsistent punishment for big mistakes, dishonest in his promises to players, very unorganized, not willing to go the extra mile, and consistently blames poor performance on anyone outside of himself. He preaches positivity and accountability but those are the two main items he does the worst at. "

"Passive Aggressive. Unable to deal with conflict. Treats every conflict or disagreement as personal attack. Treats players unevenly based on spot in lineup. Unprofessional. Immature. Spends far more time and thought working with women's team than men's team. Has recruited 2 men in 4 years and had 7+ quit the team or transfer away"
