"She's a great coach who really cares about her players. She's very direct and intense, so if that's not something you're used to, it can be an adjustment and takes some time getting used to her coaching style. I was intimated by her for a while until I got to know her as a coach. Once I did, she turned into a very good coach to me. "

"A fun head coach with serious side. Help the program be a successful and all is good. If you are not at a top level...it might feel like he does not care. But he actually does! Wasn't a starter and played limited minutes, but felt valued! I went on the annual missions trip to El Salvador and saw OB as a person and that helped. He has insecurities like we all do. He is flawed like we all are. But his heart for his players is unmatched. He want's each of us to experience Jesus in an authentic way. He admits mistakes and apologizes...that's rare. If you want a sports ministry experience...Lipscomb is the place. If you want a mid major that is only about winning, this wont be your cup of tea. It's a (small and personal) faith based D1 that can play with the top team in NCAA D1. But don't go to Lipscomb if you want to party!"

"Enjoyed transferring from a P5 school to Lipscomb. Thought it would be easy, but it was not!!! Coaches are knowledgable and push players towards success, but it was as tough as the P5 I left...The coaches have a fun environment, but is crazy competitive. Fall short of the expectations and you will not play. I struggled with the expectations of this mid-major, but it ultimately drove me to being my best and experiencing a fulfilling career as a D1 athlete."
