Loyola Marymount University

"Justin turned RWR from absolute dog s*** to a respectable team. I will never disagree with his ability to do that. He talks in circles and knows how to beef up what he is saying to make it sound better when in actuality he is a professional at making most people on the team feel insignificant. Unless you are a v8 contributor your importance in his eyes diminishes. In my time on the team, he would speak about how he valued academics yet would berate you if you missed a team lift or had to leave 5 minutes early from practice for a lab or an internship opportunity. It’s truly disappointing to see the value he places on athletes from a mental health perspective and how much he devalues your physical health as well despite the number of resources the university has.

"Mean and degrading. Horrible at communicating and picked on players. Pitted teammates against each other. Not respectful and a poor leader. She should not be coaching/mentoring anyone. Her track record in terms of how she treats the players is the same at each school she has coached at; just plain and simple, a horrible coach and her husband is even worse (who coaches with her)."
