"Worst coach I’ve ever had in my whole career. Would make a good motivational speaker but that’s about it. Doesn’t have any basketball IQ and cannot coach for his life. Filled with a bunch of false promises and is so unorganized. Everyone always gets badly injured in that program and his workouts do not make sense. He’s very egotistical and will say one thing and do the other. He’s also just so weird. He preaches culture but there is absolutely no team culture. There a reason he’s a losing coach. Like I said, worst coach I’ve ever had. "

"Quite literally changed my life for the better. Was very direct and forward about expectations and whether or not you were meeting them to your ability. Could be intense in her directness, but as long as you had the mentality that she was trying to make you better, you made the adjustment and moved on. Never held a grudge. Does not deal well with people who make excuses for lack of effort and lack of commitment. Wants to win, but also wants to support her players as people."

"The only positive thing I can say about this coach is that she knows the game of basketball just not what it takes to win. However she is disrespectful and could care less about your feelings and will destroy your confidence if you let her. I would never recommend this school if you’re an athlete. Good luck to those who are currently there trust me I do know what you’re going through I had one year with her. "

"The game has evolved past her abilities. Missy is a very poor communicator, never provide feedback on performance. Her only success has been with players that were here when she took over. She doesn’t like girls that play the game and can pass, she only appreciates the girl that drives down the middle and scores 3 goals, regardless that the same girl turns the ball over 8-10 times in the process which other team converts to goals. Assistant coaches all quit within 1-2 years…says a lot about the head coach."

"Pretty understanding with most things but can come be really moody at certain times like any other coach. Athletes must stay in dorms for two years with the same roommate and not able to pick roommates. Dorms don’t have air conditioning and are very old. Team culture is amazing amongst all of the players. "
