"Dale Starr is a sad excuse of a coach. He continuously bad mouths his players, support staff, and even his own boss. You would think as a father, he would know how to coach young female athletes, but it’s quite the contrary. He will not take the time to develop players nor will he coach them properly. His political views are an entirely different story. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but as a college coach he expresses his views both online and on the court in an inappropriate manner. Team culture is almost non existent. He picks favorites, and will talk bad about players to OTHER players. Just completely and utterly unprofessional. His behavior on the court is unjustifiable. You can watch any game and you will see his aggressive behavior towards his players and opponents. He’s been under investigation countless times for body shaming, inappropriate language, and his extremely aggressive behavior. Dale is not the type of coach or man I would want my daughter to play for. Believe the things you’ve seen, save yourself and your child. "

"I’ve seen this dirtbag operate at the club and heard horror stories of him at the college level. What he does to young women under the title of coach, should never be allowed. He must get off on making young women feel fear. I’ve seen him scream at 15 year olds an inch from their face as a form of public humiliation. It’s sick. How’s he allowed to coach still??? He’s a known monster. "

"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"

"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. "

"Only cares about winning/losing. Nothing else. "

"Coach grove is an excellent sales woman. She’s able to craft a lovely picture of life at Seton Hill while being part of a “top notch” team. However, once you really get to campus, you’ll find that she pins players against each other, conditions players until they pee or barf on themselves, and belittles any player that suffers from confidence issues. She ruined the sport for me in more ways than one and I hope that whoever reads this takes it into deep consideration before committing. Truly assess what the school offers, and compare with your goals for post graduation. If you like the sport and are a great athlete, I promise you’ll find better opportunities outside of SHU. Please, save yourself the trauma & find a program that will make you feel safe, respected and included."
