"Incredibly knowledgable of the game, and obviously was a good player. Extremely inconsistent as a leader and coach. Doesn't trust her assistant coaches (has had a menagerie of coaches throughout the years), doesn't trust her captains, and seems to want to surround herself with "yes-men" so don't cross her. Despite her knowledge of the game she seems to get out-coached by inferior talented teams each season. Schools with a "program" consistently beat Coach Smith's teams despite inferior talent. In my opinion women need to feel good about themselves to play well...and you won't get compliments or feel secure about yourself if you play for Coach Smith. Many players at Hofstra end up becoming student teachers during their senior seasons forcing Coach Smith to adjust the practice schedule to very early in the morning...if you play there, get used to arising when it's dark and practicing as the sun comes up. Practices are long, monotonous, and if you're a captain, she has frequent meetings following practice...she doesn't care what you think, so I'm confused why she meets with you anyway. Coach Smith is well connected in the Long Island community since she runs the Top Gun Club program, but she doesn't seem to find internships or post career jobs for the players. If you're a player that's not getting time, you want to hear the coach tell you reasons why you're not playing...fitness, better off-hand control, speed, lacrosse IQ...but instead, you probably will be ignored for weeks on end. Coach Smith doesn't spend time developing her players that aren't superstars...and in my opinion she isn't that adept at developing stars either."

"He just talks in training, plays favorites, doesn't like guys of other nationalities, can just sit people down during the game,and he doesn't care about the team. For example, a practice lasts an hour, but he will explain to you in a circle from an hour to 45 minutes what to do on the practice. He is so bad coach! "

"Coach Bancroft ruined my love of soccer. I had him for 4 years at Saint Anselm, and what I had learned from there most is how badly a coach can change your life. He only cares about the girls he finds important to him, he makes no effort to make everyone feel respected by him. He stalked all of our social media all the time, spammed us with audio messages, he was just so creepy and made us feel so uncomfortable while also just being a bad, unknowledgeable coach. He does not care about you. Please if you are looking to play women's soccer here, look elsewhere - unless you want to feel insecure and hate the sport you once loved for the rest of your life."

"Abusive. Created culture of scapegoating players. Was unhinged in mood swings. Would send drunk emails, berate players on the field, schedule punishment runs immediately after games forbade players to see or communicate with family, threw water cups at players and overall air of intimidation while playing favorites with star players- all of which the university was aware of (with many parents and players complaining) but as he had won national championships and was athletic director was overlooked. The history is still overlooked and he was inducted into hall of fame. Overall awful. While a smart lacrosse tactition, was an awful person and sent many players into therapy. "
