"I entered college, loving the sport of lacrosse my entire life. Rain, sleet, snow - it didn’t matter. If I had the choice I would play lacrosse. AnneHarrington and her staff took that away from me. From a complete lack of respect for players to a dismissive attitude to any player who was not a starter. Then to a complete lack of compassion for or understanding of the mindset of a female athlete. Anne Harrington knew little about developing players or understanding, young female athletes. I would never recommend anyone trust their daughter to this coach. The disregard for physical ailments was a great concern. But more important, the disregard for mental well-being was inexcusable. I watched a teammate of mine, push herself to the point that she couldn’t get enough oxygen. She was seeing black. But she was so afraid to stop during the run that she pushed until she collapsed. After that, Coach Harrington said nothing. Did nothing. Even the training staff didn’t address it. It was humiliating for my teammate and frightening for the rest of us. For the next several weeks, I watched that teammate be punished with zero playing time, zero indies with the assistant coach, zero attention from any of the coaching staff, zero attention from the training staff. It was likeshe no longer existed. They just didn’t care. in their minds she had failed and they made that known to her. As a coach, she is the failure. People like to recognize the accolades of the team like A10 championships. But athletics should be more than that. And coaches should care about the women who work so hard to attain those things. Anne Harrington is not that kind of coach."

"She plays favorites which I guess coaches do. But she does it in such a way that you KNOW they don’t care about you I you aren’t their favorite player. It’s a great school so I’m happy to be here. But lacrosse has become the worst part. "

"She knows the game but she is only concerned about starters. Doesn’t develop other players or even give them a chance to get better. Not a role model"

"Creates a negative environment for athletes that divides team. Complete disregard for the physical and mental well being of her athletes. Very negative culture that includes unequal expectations and treatment, shaming and massive favoritism. "

"Absolute worst person in this entire universe. He lies about his players. He actually had a player take the fall for him because he was scared of repercussions from the NCAA. He makes disgusting remarks about players significant others. He has no care about the wellbeing of his players, and in a heartbeat he would sell out anyone for the sake of a millimeter gain in his absolute trainwreck of a career. Kirk Gibson should have hit him with a double fist pump to the face with his World Series ring that he piggy backed. No shocker though that he takes credit for a World Series that he never even played in. On top of that he convinced multiple players with professional aspirations to stay in school to play for him, just for him to sit them the next year and treat them like trash. Never believe a word this person says. You may think I’m just a disgruntled player, mad about playing time, but just ask a few alumni and they will corroborate the exact story. Beyond thrilled he is no longer impacting anyone’s lives. "

"I graduated more than 5 years ago and I’m still in therapy dealing with the trauma this man gave me. He went out of his way to be sadistic and nasty. If you’re not one of the lucky few he favors, he won’t be kind. If you’re unlucky enough to be specifically disfavored, he will do everything in his power to break you. He is well versed in the hoovering technique and as others have mentioned, he constantly makes comments about our bodies/ criticizes us for eating. He conflates respect with obedience and takes questions for clarity as personal attacks. He stole my love of the sport and his abusive behavior has landed me in therapy dealing with it. I would give anything to warn my impressionable high school self against falling for his charming facade. "

"Based on my experience, Marty Beall is overall a poor coach who does not care about his players. He preaches “respect, love, positive actions” and that the “person is more important than the player” but exhibits the complete opposite. He never goes out of his way to help players on the team, even if they ask him. Because of how unaware he treats his players, many develop mental health issues and depletion in confidence. If you ask him what you need to work on, he will be very vague. There have been many players who left, some being starters, because they could not handle how he treated others. He has a direct style of play that will ruin players who have a lot of skill. He also does not listen or work with the other assistant coaches, who do not advocate for players on the team and are unable to make suggestions. His personality off the field is also not very welcoming."

"Has different standards based on if you are a favorite or not and his knowledge of the game is questionable. Not very respectful when communicating with women. "

"Everything he says comes off great, but he is very hypocritical. He is a master manipulator. Wants all swimmers to be extremely lean muscle. Talks about food often in negative ways. He picks favorites. He does not care about mental health. Do not recommend unless he is not the coach."

"Matt does not care about the dive team and excludes us from as many activities as possible. He undervalues the benefits a close bond between swim and dive could foster. He also does poorly with injuries. "

"Matt will mess with your mental health with his mind games. Constantly tells girls they are fat. Talks behind swimmers' backs. Dishonest, rude and condescending. Cannot take when students put their academics before swimming. Do not recommend. "

"Absolutely terrible, should never be a coach."
