Great CommunicatorKnows The GamePlayers CoachPositive PersonResponsive

A fun head coach with serious side. Help the program be a successful and all is good. If you are not at a top level...it might feel like he does not care. But he actually does! Wasn't a starter and played limited minutes, but felt valued! I went on the annual missions trip to El Salvador and saw OB as a person and that helped. He has insecurities like we all do. He is flawed like we all are. But his heart for his players is unmatched. He want's each of us to experience Jesus in an authentic way. He admits mistakes and apologizes...that's rare. If you want a sports ministry experience...Lipscomb is the place. If you want a mid major that is only about winning, this wont be your cup of tea. It's a (small and personal) faith based D1 that can play with the top team in NCAA D1. But don't go to Lipscomb if you want to party!

Enjoyed transferring from a P5 school to Lipscomb. Thought it would be easy, but it was not!!! Coaches are knowledgable and push players towards success, but it was as tough as the P5 I left...The coaches have a fun environment, but is crazy competitive. Fall short of the expectations and you will not play. I struggled with the expectations of this mid-major, but it ultimately drove me to being my best and experiencing a fulfilling career as a D1 athlete.

Transferred here and was blown away with the culture. Girls love Jesus and can compete with the best in the area. We beat SEC teams and frequently are dancing in the NCAA's. I think this program is an outlier in the D1 landscape. We are in and incredible city (Nashville) and play at a top, top level (better than most P5's). I can see this program going to multiple NCAA's in the future. Go Bisons!

Saw our coach getting average reviews and was frustrated! He is a great coach. He prioritizes our wellbeing, And compared to the rest...is incredible! He is a transformational coach that loves Jesus and loves to win. He see's our success increasing our platform! We have fun. Are good. And have a caring coaching staff that loves us. We are blessed indeed.

Awesome. He is the epitome of what a coach should be. He doesn't play favorites the hardest workers play and he is very kind. God is at the center of everything we do. He is also very reflective and admits when he makes a mistake before you need to say it which is very unique and in all my years I have never seen.
