"I played for Dale at RMU- and I am genuinely appalled and truly disheartened to see that the NCAA has continually allowed this man to continue coaching, despite having being cited numerous times and having several investigations launched against him. Dale Starr nearly ruined my life as a young college student, and I am thankful to those around me who allowed me to get away from him and the horrible experience he gave me. I didn't learn anything, except how to hate myself and hate volleyball. I was told I would be better off dead and disabled than I would be playing for him. Take it from someone ho has had to spend YEARS healing from this experience: find another school, find another team. Save yourself, save your daughter, save a friend. Life is too short to spend your formative years in mental anguish because of where you chose to play college volleyball"
"Hands down the best coach I ever had. Incredibly supportive of our goals on and off the field. Very passionate and knowledgeable about lacrosse and genuinely cared about each and every player on the team."

"Coach Phillips is very supportive in personal or family issues. However, when it comes to lacrosse-related issues (i.e. practices, workouts, playing time) she is passive aggressive and often plays head games with her players."
"I respect Coach Cotter because she is very knowledgable about the sport, and the physiology behind it. I never felt uncomfortable speaking to her if I had a problem. Her workouts are tough and she sets the bar high for each person on the team."
"Caitlin Cotter is an excellent coach. In her first year as coach at Robert Morris; the team has already shown major improvements. Her workouts are challenging but doable. Sometimes her expectations may be a little high, but just work hard and do the best you can and she won't get mad at you. She isn't the best when it comes to communication and sometimes isn't very personable. Coach Caitlin is always there for you and will take time to sit down and talk to you when you ask for it."
"She knows the sport of lacrosse very well and she cares deeply for her players. She is a challenging coach at times, but she pushes her players to be the best player that they can possibly be on and off the field. The four years that I was on this team were the best years of my life and that was due mostly to my teammates. The culture that this team possesses is a family-oriented culture. Everyone cares deeply about each other and always has each others back."
"Coach Mike Smith is the best coach that I have ever worked with. He is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about running and works to make every athlete on our team a priority. He pours himself into his work and into making us the best athletes that we can be. Amazing person, coach and friend."
"Dale Starr is a poor excuse for a coach. He cares about tearing his athletes down. He comments on weight, looks, and mental health. He would rather you suffer in silence than get help. He is oddly close with certain girls and other coaches have even encouraged players to bully other players to get them to leave. If you voice concerns, he will penalize you and exile you. He cusses at players, throws clipboards, and many coaches have voiced their worries about him being able to coach. "
