"Behaves in an authoritarian manner on court, often acting as if he knows best, despite not always being correct. Displays disrespect towards some players and shows behavior that can feel both physically and emotionally absusive. Fosters a truly toxic team environment. In my experience, the most difficult/ absusive coach I've had in my tennis career."
"I don’t have anything positive to say about him. He may appear caring and friendly during your school visit, but after you commit to the university, he seems to forget about you entirely. His behavior can feel inappropriate and biased. Even if he might train you well, the mental health strain he will leave on you simply isn’t worth it."
"Picks favorites, and creates team drama by gossiping with the favorite players over personal issues. Clear favoritism. It brings players in to not play them or give them chances. Lies about playing time to get you there. Media day with just starters or select hand-picked people.
Loved the atmosphere, but it sucks when your coaches turn everyone against you when you have worked so hard for something your whole life just to give it up one day because they made me end up hating softball. Lots of drama & team division, if you weren't recommended to play by a “favorite” you most likely would never touch the field no matter how good you were. Also was told they'd have a huge video scoreboard when recruited, there is yet to be a change lol. Just more lies. "
"When I was looking for a school to swim at, he seemed to be a nice person with whom it is easy to communicate and get along. As soon as I arrived, I understood it was all just a recruiting trick to get people to swim for him. He is angry every day on the pool deck and lushes out on his swimmers. He rarely said anything about how we swam but would lose his temper if we did something incorrectly. Also, it was easy to notice that he had people that he favored, and they would get away from things the rest of the team could not. It was miserable, and it was draining physically and mentally. Practicing was repetitive. We would do almost identical practices, swimming loads of long-distance sets daily. We never worked on technique. Gyms were also repetitive. The same exercises were done day after day. If you are interested in swimming for him, I would highly recommend talking to multiple he trained to get a better picture."
"I want to transfer. This man is the worst. Every single day he has a bad attitude and takes it out on his athletes. He abuses his power all the time. He has no respect for his athletes as people. To top it off he is disgusting. He picks his nose and eats it, picks his earwax and eats it, picks his scabs and eats them, and his sticks his hand down his pants to scratch his butt. He does all of this in front of us every day. He wasn't always like this, but each and every day this year has been miserable."
"He is a great guy who cares about his players and this school. He takes care of his wife and new born child as well as the team and helped lead us to a 7-3 record this year."
