"My son recently shared a story detailing the verbal abuse this coach would give to not just him but many of his teammates as well. I didn’t realize how awful of a coach Jeremy would be when he was lying to our faces by telling us he will care for my child when he is away from our home "

Poor Communication

"This is the worst coach I have ever played for in my life. He is borderline emotionally abusive, has called his players bad people, to marry up in life because we are going nowhere, etc. will not show up to practice when he is mad at the team, will have illegal practices to make his team run. Does not know ball, his GA has to run practice. "

Intense Disorganized Poor Communication

"Maybe one of the worst coaches in college sports. Learns everything from YouTube because he lacks real experience with lacrosse and loves to yell at kids when they can’t read his mind and looks for every chance to throw someone under the bus. Super dishonest and doesn’t actually care about the students. A very negative influence on team culture "

Intense Knowledgeable Cares About Academics

"At first, I thought he was all over the place with everything. His workouts didn't make sense to me. Older teammates told me to give it time and I started to see it working. He wants you think he is mean, but he really isn't. Actually he can be a fun person to be around."

Honest Intense Knowledgeable Cares About Academics Old School Mentality

"Took some time for me to realize he is really good at coaching on and off the track. He expects the most out of everyone. He can be VERY intense but he's with you through it all, even when he looks like he can't stand you (he really loves it). He does like a long meeting"

"Worst coach very bipolar. Doesn’t not know how talk to athletes. Will take his anger out on you. Cannot have a decent conversation with you because he will walk away. Always using foul language. Very emotional. "

"Genuinely the best coach I have ever played for. His approach to the game is aggressive and fundamental. He is supportive and cares for every player. He forces success in the classroom, which translates directly onto the court. He puts the best 6 on the court, no matter what, and allows every player to battle for one of those spots in practice."
