Cares About AcademicsPoor Communication

Coach Hanson is not a good talent developer or game day coach by any stretch of the imagination. Every team has deficiencies, but some deficiencies are the direct result of bad coaching: Poor base running ✔️ Poor defensive execution once the ball is fielded (throwing to the correct place, executing rundowns, etc.) ✔️ Poor use of bullpen ✔️ Frequency of negative big innings ✔️ Not putting over-matched teams away ✔️ Poor scouting of opponents ✔️ Regression by players who showed promise as first years ✔️ Absence of plays where one thinks to self "good call, Coach" ✔️

Poor Communication

Don’t trust what he’s selling. He will tell students and parents what they want to hear and then do the opposite. Has favorites. No logical reasoning behind who plays and who does not. Absolutely unable to communicate. E.g. Will not share line up until game is starting despite being asked to be proactively transparent to allow players to mentally prepare, if he has an issue with a player he is not forthcoming and instead gets their hopes up to only let them down again and again) Shows no real interest in students academics, other than pointing out if the student has received an unsatisfactory Consequences for poor athlete behavior is only addressed if and when he is forced to address it (i.e. it was witnessed by others who expect a consequence) Does not like to be questioned/challenged by players, and especially by parents This review is reflective of the opinions of multiple players and families over many years with student athletes who were allowed to play and others who were not deemed worthy of playing. Do yourself a favor, save yourself the heartache and choose another school if playing baseball is important to you. Beware! You will not actually receive what he’s selling. Good leadership yields great results. Take a look at how many times Dickinson has made the playoffs.
