"Coach E should go down as one of the best hitting coaches in the nation. I am super thankful I have gotten to experience her coaching style and how she develops hitters. As a person, I could run to Coach E for anything. She is respectful and sooo personable. She makes Wichita State's culture. "

Honest Knowledgeable Believes In You Creates A Great Team Culture Passionate About Coaching

"I was at Wichita State my freshman year of college, and I would not change my experience for the world. Coach B was very personable, and always has an ear to listen. She always treated us girls like humans. With my own personal battles, she always believed in me and gave me grace through the struggles. Not to say, she was hard on me in a good way, because she truly believed I had potential. To this day, I respect Coach B with everything in me. She truly is one of the best coaches in this sport."

"He's his own biggest fan. He doesn't know how to adapt to college students. He builds no relationships with them. No mentoring. Also overrecruited like he is recruiting to a top caliber program which they are not. Ethically questionable. "

"Coach Oliver is manipulative and does not truly care about the players. She pushes injuries to the side and continuously shows favoritism towards specific players, including reducing punishments and altogether ignoring rule breaking. Not sure how she became a head coach with her little knowledge and cruel mindset. "

"As a former player of Courtney's that never got in any trouble, I agree that she is a coach that turns the girls against one another. She asks about players' business and will keep asking until she gets a player to snitch on them. She is more focused on being in control than winning. The program has gone downhill and will only get worse due to her."

"Courtney is more focused on drama and pushing the girls against each other than she is on winning. She would rather punish the girls and make them run then let them practice and get better.I understand punishment for something legit, but not eating McDonalds in the airport, with their own money and not alot of time. There are more important things"

"First off, she is very demeaning toward her players. She does not know how to communicate with players and tends to call them names and talk about them to other players. She has her favorites who could get away with murder. She looks to her assistant coaches for help and making all decisions. She doesn't see herself as the problem. "

"By the comments listed below, one should be able to tell what type of coach Courtney is. She turns her players against each other and feeds off of it. It's a toxic environment. It is bigger than writing negative reviews because of "getting in trouble." She is not a good head coach. These other comments are not "negative" they are true. "

"I am a former player weighing in on this because I can say my opinion unbiased since being out of the program. Courtney Oliver is an unprofessional coach and puts more effort into being negative and judgmental toward her athletes than she does into the well-being of the team. She cares too much about her image and her knowledge of the game is poor."
