"I’ve never had a coach not believe in me anymore. She’s the absolute worst and plays favorites. Absolutely the worst human being I’ve ever been around. Don’t play for her. Don’t do it. "

He is a great recruiter and when he recruits he looks at a holistic overview as oppose to just start political characteristics like where you row for, but moreover who the person is to the core. Be on his team if you can. "

"Coach Filter is a fantastic baseball mind and a great leader for the program as a whole. He leads by example with his commitment to team values and passion for the game. One of his greatest strengths is his honesty, someone that will truly call it as it is, but offers solutions or input on how to improve when this honesty comes in the form of criticism. His pedigree as a pitching coach speaks for itself and he puts a high emphasis on players leaving his program prepared for whatever professionals endeavors they choose whether or not that is professional baseball.

"One of the most disingenuous head coaches in Division 1 softball today. Is 2-faced and treats players like cattle. Takes no accountability whatsoever for failure and pins it squarely on players. Woos and courts players into thinking they’ll be part of a positive environment and then treats players like garbage. There’s a reason why the best player on the team is trying to get out of there and entered the transfer portal. "

But he is not receptive to any critique or constructive criticism from players who are trying to help the team out. Gets offended when people ask him stuff. Runs robot plays for a 1/2 guard oriented offense even if his best players are otherwise. "

All around, he does a good job the team and has been making strides this year to be a better coach. However I will say he needs strong leaders on the team for true success. "

"I do not give Krystal a good coaching review. She was not consistent with qualifying outcomes, meaning she hand-picked the traveling team and played favorites. She is not open to good communication as she might say or act during the recruiting process. She does not facilitate an atmosphere of trust. Connections are a weakness of this coach and this program, so if your dream is to play after college or to get connected in the golf world, I would not go to Santa Clara."
