Tisdale is a solid recruiter. She has experience starting programs and creating buy-in and can be successful as she builds from new. This is where the competence ends. Leadership style - zero empathy and understanding of how team chemistry works. This leads to using fear and cold shoulder approach to feedback. Does not know how to provide instruction or support during 1:1 meetings. Tries to bully officials during games. Since she is unable to empathize with others, employs a strategy of 'empowering' senior classes to inherit her negative coaching style as enforcers on the practice and game field. She then let's these senior leaders dictate who plays, which causes division and poor team chemistry. All her players dislike her until they are seniors when they are brainwashed in the ways of poor leadershio and ruling by fear. Violated NCAA practice hours at times. Inappropriate behavior as a leader of women: Proudly displayed a disdain for most males, Often at odds and caused conflict with male coaches of other sports. Inappropriate relationships and behaviors on display in front of the team, especially when traveling. After quitting on the team and resigning, instead of facing the feedback and correcting the hole she dug, she contacted and tried to poach many players from the team (only 1 out of the many followed to her new destination - which speaks for itself). Good luck. We hope she learns what matters and changes as a person and leader. Until then really do your research...
