"Coach Crabill offers a good incentive during the recruiting process. Once you are on the team it’s a different story. You can see by the stats he has not done well with the program. He tells players to be meaner on the freshman, plays his favorite players and punishes those he doesn’t like. He will most likely tell will play two positions but I have never seen that happen. He puts players against each other and has killed any moral the team had. Even though his seniors have given bad feedback he still manages to keep his job. Go to Springfield for the academics. Don’t go if soccer is your passion. There are much better coaches out there. "
"Tommy Crabill coaches through fear, intimidation and punishment. He is emotionally abusive in both comments and tactics. He has created a toxic environment in which players have lost morale, motivation, and confidence. His punishment of mistakes stifles creativity, growth and enjoyment of the sport. Punishing athletes for errors can lead to anxiety and discourages them from taking necessary risks for development. "
"When I was looking at different colleges through my recruiting process Springfield was in my top 3 mostly because of my visit with the coach. She was so understanding and made me feel like she genuinely cared about me even though I was not committed there. I highly recommend this coach the only reason I did not attend was because my major was not available."
"When I was coming back from a dislocated knee she helped me make a full recovery even though the doctors said I’ll never be 100% again and will probably have to quit football. "
"A lot for sports. Nice gym. Did not like how busy the road was in between gym and school. How small dorms were and how unsafe It felt. Very busy downtown area and dorm doors right there."
"He is amazing. I loved playing for him. He cares about his players more than winning. He building relationships with his players and their families easily. Very reasonable."
"There is a reason he has had as much long-term success as he has. A great coach and an even better man, that built a solid culture that has spanned almost four decades!"
"The pride that Melissa takes in her programs rubs off on her players. She cares about how we represent ourselves both on and off the field. Her love for the game of field hockey is incredible."
"Prior to earning the great coaching job at Springfield, he was an assistant coach there. In both capacities, he was not very receptive to certain team members for unknown reasons sometimes to a point of neglect. Nice person outside of the game, but not one who gives of positive vibes about his choosing style or ability. His philosophy also did not suit my playing style, which hindered my growth. "
