"I can't recommend Cal Water polo because of the coaching staff. regardless of how much effort you put in and talent you have, she picks favorites. She will never be honest with you and will continue to lead you on to believe you are going to play. If she thinks you aren't talented, she will completely disregard you in practices."

"Didn’t really have the opportunity to have a leader as a coach. Us as players were the driving force of the team, not the coach. "

"As the years progressed, her expertise in the sport failed to increase as well. Solely rating her coaching, she showed favoritism and did not display the qualities of a developing and contending coach in the Pac-12 conference. However, she was cool off the field, cared for her athletes’ academic well-being, and accomplished a lot managerially."

"If you are not a middle distance runner, you really don't have much contact with Sandavol other than team meetings. The individual coaches are all very competent and are responsible for the bulk of work when it comes to running the team. His motivational speeches are fairly good, but he frequently has MASSIVE foot-in-mouth moments. "
