After my first year with Gayle as my head coach, i can say that i’ve grown both as a player and as a person. She helps you build your confidence and she talks with you to let you know what she needs from you. One of the best things about her that is not very common to found in college coaches, is that she cares about her players off the court, and she knows that we are more than just basketball players. She is always willing to help you with anything.

Coach was a caring and nice person. I felt like the communication was off and tries to keep everyone happy by not being honest and just telling people the things they wanna hear

Coach Fulks is an outstanding leader and program builder. Her ability to recruit internationally and create a united, high-performing team is remarkable. Bringing together players from countries including United States, Australia, Canada, Hungary, Belgium and Spain, she has developed a squad that finished third and competed toe-to-toe with some of the nation's highest-ranked teams. Her commitment to player development (on and off the court), culture and excellence is evident in both the team's results and the growth of the athletes she coaches.

My experience with Coach Gayle has been good. She cares a lot about her players on and off the court. She is open to ideas and allows for all coaches to have a say in what we’re doing. One thing I think she could improve on is being more transparent in conversations about playing time. But, she creates a good team culture and everyone really gets along.

Coach Fulks is a fun coach to have. Sometimes in one-on-one conversations she is not completely honest though and that can leave you guessing. She is very accessible though and wants the best for all of her players.

First year coach still trying to figure how things should work. Struggles with communication and lacks understanding of the culture that is Davidson College. Making it difficult at times to balance student athlete affairs.
