"This guys is awful haven’t had a good season here yet and the big guy is to blame don’t fall for the trap he will make your life miserable. Only reason he still coaches is for free Giovanis Pizza. They are running a ponzi scheme keeping him a float. The AD is paid off too. Pretends like he cares but knows it’s not his problem as long as the checks keep rolling in. Traveling with the team is a nightmare short staffed no room on bus sleeping on floors in hotels and staying up way to late. Never a good experience. "

"My son has had a great experience playing for Coach Peluso! Not only does he care about his players on the field but he cares tremendously about his players life after their collegiate career. He set my son up for success outside of the playing field; which is what we all wish for as parents. I encourage anyone looking for a great college experience head on over to Stevens. "

"Absolutely awful. Beyond coaching (which he is also terrible at); Genuinely a bad person. Can’t help but thinking the positive reviews on this site reflect his own or his camps thoughts on the situation. Seriously a deeply angry man who uses his position as a college coach to take that anger out on young adults. I don’t know what else can be done. Players going back years have pleaded for his removal with the school but these pleas have fallen on deaf ears. Embarrassing for the program, athletic department, and school as a whole. "

"Worst coach I’ve ever had. Ruins the game of lacrosse and doesn’t try to develop players. The team would be way more successful without him. He does not change his plays or systems that do not work against good teams and the players skill is the reason Steven’s has had success. He is holding the program back "

"Rough experience with this head coach from the nepotism to being disrespectful to players and not caring about there time. He loves to hear himself speak and will ramble on in circles for a while in huddles and speeches to team/families. He has no idea what a halftime adjustment is or how to implement them which has been a contributing factor to his awful record against ranked opponents during the regular season and playoffs. "

"He is however very hypocritical in what he says. He preaches one thing and acts in a totally different way. He isolates goalkeepers from the rest of the team through his comments and creates a level of disrespect between players. He plays favorites and condones behavior for some players that would otherwise not be acceptable."

"Just a bad coach with ego issues. Everything needs to be on his dime 24/7. Terrible at handling emotions in games, leading to producing one of the worst second half teams in college lacrosse. Shows up 30 mins late to practice daily. He’s seen as a great coach on the outside because of his record. However, it’s pretty easy to recruit guys to a top academic school in the NYC area and pump bottom of the barrel teams by 20 goals to get his winning record up. Anyone with a pulse could do that. Pretty sure he has less than 10 top 10 wins in his coaching career. None of his wins are quality. Changes need to be made at Stevens to be successful. "
