"Doug is a disgrace to South Dakota State Jackrabbit athletics, and especially the swim program. There is a reason the swim team has never won a conference title, and never will until he is replaced. Terrible communicator, same training regiment for four years, picks favorites, shows up late, lies to you, and a lot more! He also let his daughter on the team, who got away with just about everything. If this isn’t a red flag, I don’t know what is. Don’t fall for the salesman he and others are on recruiting trips, don’t judge the book by its cover. Seeing other athletic programs at SDSU succeed except for mine was very underwhelming and disappointing. But it is easy to understand with what transpires on a daily basis at the Marshall Center Pool."

Disorganized Poor Communication

"Krista wood knows absolutely nothing about softball and she is a terrible person. Transferred out and no happier than ever. If you want to play you better be on her good side and do extra work that she will watch you on the cameras. She also cannot comprehend mental health issues and turns the conversation back on her. "

Should Just Be A Pitching Coach

Date: February 3, 2026

Intense Disorganized Helps With Career

"Not qualified to be a head coach. Doesn’t have an understanding of all aspects of the game, only pitching. Plays favorites and only cares about starters. Treats injured players like they don’t exist "

Mental Health Matters

Date: January 26, 2026

Direct Honest Cares About Academics Passionate About Coaching Responsive

"Coach Wood has given me a chance to play for a very upbringing program! I am grateful to be pushed by coaches that believe me, and honest with me. I think the coach’s at Creighton do a good job picking out your weaknesses, so that you can be the best version of yourself as a softball player. "

"Newly updated field with nice facilities overall. The locker room is very outdated and in an inconvenient spot so it’s not used often."
