"Many players left Chicago State because of him. Only players who played stayed. He is very pessimistic and negative. Difficult to say any pros. "

"Extremely negative, talks about players to others, yells and makes remarks. Does not develop or coach players. Focus only on player who play. Poor communicator. Has made multiple players cry. Players have quit because of his negativity and disrespect. Kicked players off the team just because. Most toxic coach witnessed. He tells media he is trying to change the culture and have player buy in but his culture is NEGATIVE. Just watch games of him on the sideline. You can see it. Does not bond with the players. No team bonding. Doesn’t help the family are apart of the staff. Texts/calls players all times of the day. Destroyed the VB program. See he only had 9 players at Chicago state because they all left!"

"Very passive aggressive and plays favorites. Will put things into your head for hope and then tear them away."

"Lucy Gillet is a terrible coach. I tried to give 0 stars for the motivational, caring, and honest categories, but it wouldn’t let me. She did not earn, nor deserve, the title of head coach, but was named it basically by default. She does not embody a head coach by any means. I was personally excited for her to be my coach, given her very recent experience with college soccer. However, my excitement was VERY quickly shot down. I also thought that she would be easy to get along with and would be understanding of intense school schedules due to her young age and recent experiences in college herself, but I was very wrong about this as well. She is power hungry and loves to dangle her superiority over her player’s heads at absolutely every chance she gets. She also constantly shows her superiority over her assistant coaches, as she treats them horribly yet makes them do all of her work. She is not a knowledgeable coach whatsoever and should have never been given a head coaching title at the division 1 level. She single handedly destroyed my confidence on the field, and I know for a fact that I am not the only one who she has made feel this way. After just one season with her, not a single senior stayed to play their 5th year (despite all having the ability to do so due to Covid) AND 6 players transferred to other schools… her track record certainly speaks for itself. "

"As a former player, by far the worst coach I have ever had. She has favorites, inexperienced, does not give anyone a chance, immature, lashes out, and is unfair. After her first year of coaching, five of her players quit soccer including me and two players transferred schools. If that doesn’t say enough then I don’t know what does. She does not care about her players (only a select handful) and does not know how to develop them because she does not know the game as she is a goalkeeper. Not to mention how she was handed the head coach job when she did not earn it or deserve it, which is unfortunate because the program could have really turned around if it weren’t for the lack of judgement and laziness when hiring a new head coach. "

"Horrible experience with this coach "

"He is knowledgeable in volleyball, but he is very creepy with the girls. I had a hard time being coached by him because him and his wife are very touchy feely. Let alone he’s had issues in the past with dating players"

"He is hard to get ahold of and seems to care more about protecting coaches rather than athletes. He does not seem to understand how much athletes put into their sports. I have not had a good experience with bill."

"She motivated me all right. To want nothing to do with the school or any sort of athletics. "

"She does not put players first, frequently asked them to play on injuries that ended up resulting in surgeries. She held the team out of competitions because she did not want to go, including nationals. She frequentlyp told the players too much about her personal life and traumas, then told them they did not deserve to play for disrespecting her and the sport. She constantly compared us to West Point, and would leave give our team off to go spend time with the West Point team instead of us. She felt that school was “getting in the way of rugby” for her team. She thought that every game we lost was because we were not fit enough, and not the fact that we were simply worse players than the other teams. She was incapable of effectively communicating what she wanted or expected and would then blow up on the team for not reading her mind. Her coaching was the worst athletic coaching experience I have ever had. She was so disrespectful and disorganized, she was absolutely awful to players and played favorites heavily, I would never recommend her to ever be in any coaching position with any sort of power. The only way the team was tight knit is from bonding through the experiences she put us through, like not getting on flights out of state with us or telling us to figure out our own ways back to campus after landing from an out of state flight at midnight.
