Has no idea what he is doing, constantly picks the worst team selections and his practices make no sense, for example weeks of doubles practice with partners that you don’t even play with in season. His practice sessions also caused our no.2 singles player to break down in tears, the environment was very toxic. Also has his favorites and treats those favorites much better than the rest of the team. Playing for this coach ruined my passion for the sport. When the job became available there was no fair interview process, Mike just decided as a senior member of the sports administration at SHU, that he would like to be the coach and therefore got the job. During my time on this program, the team liked to smoke and participate in recreational drugs 4/5x a week. Even after I left a kid he brought in failed a drugs test. Anyway I didn’t want to associate with this lifestyle and passed up team activities to be labelled as “not a team player” and in turn was removed from lineups despite easily beating majority of the roster consistently in practice. If you read this far please note that the school sacred heart is amazing, the campus is beautiful and you will only find amazing people, unfortunately as far as tennis is concerned, avoid!
