"Really cares about softball and the team. Runs very intentional practices and coaches every player. Is very family oriented and considers the players and their family a huge part of the program which translates to the closeness of the team. Carries a small roster and is very intentional about the type of athletes she recruits. Is very proud to be a coach and apart of the St. Louis community. Would consider her coaching style old school."
"Bad coach and bad human. He took a sport I loved and made it feel like a chore. Treated me like a lesser person for being a walk on and left some permanent emotional scars. Stay far away from Jon Bell."
"While this coach is knowledgeable about the game and has produced wins, the internal culture of the program was deeply problematic. Nepotism and favoritism undermined team culture, destroying trust and tearing the locker room dynamic apart. Coaching decisions were often driven by emotion rather than consistency or fairness, and close personal relationships with her daughter the team influenced how players were treated.
There was an excessive focus on locker-room dynamics rather than player development, which led to players feeling monitored instead of supported. Rather than fostering unity, the environment became divisive, with players being pitted against one another. Although the coach frequently portrayed herself as caring and player-focused, many players felt that support was conditional and not genuine.
Sportsmanship after losses was also a concern, as interactions with opposing teams and coaches were not consistently professional. Additionally, the program suffered from constant staff turnover—nearly every season involved members of the coaching staff leaving—making it difficult to build stability or trust.
Do not let the win–loss record be misleading. Success on paper does not excuse a toxic environment or justify practices that harm players’ well-being and development off the court."
"Horrible recruiter. As a Jesuit institution expounding values such as cura personalis and magis- he is the opposite. He leads on youth, tells them to call him, schedules calls and does not answer or return calls when he says he will. There are many wonderful ethical coach/recruiters and he is just not it "
