Awful-Toxic. Start of this season 4-7. No one knows who is starting or playing until game.

Poor Communication

Called out my teammates in front of the whole team. Always played favorites even when they were out played and out hustled by others. One went 0-20 at the plate but stayed in the line up with several errors on the field. Not physical errors but mental. Dishonest with players. Even with lies on roster - listed one kid at 5’7” who was lucky to be 5’4” with spikes. Cared more about looks instead of talent. D1 transfer label most important. This year will be daddy ball year with son transferring in. Already plays a daddy ball mentality. Teammates lacked any respect for him. A bunch transferred or just left with more eligibility left. Just bad situation.

Poor Communication

Overall poor coach for most players. Very dishonest with players. Would rather lose a game than be proven wrong or be honest. Lacks fundamental baseball knowledge. Relies solely on hitting home runs. Discourages hitting based on situation like behind runner, bunting, 2 strike approach. Will sit you if you change your swing to make contact. Has had several players leave and transfer. One packed up and left in the middle of the night during the school year. Will play D1 transfers over better players to keep getting the D1 transfers. Loses cool quickly and will blame players for coaching mistakes and being out coached by opponent. Not nearly as good as Coach Lancaster and it will eventually show. Daddy ball starts 2025 when he gets his son to transfer in. Who can blame him since the infield was extremely weak this past season. Had potential but he sucked the confidence right out of most of his players. Lost the big games because offense scores runs but defense wins championships. Does not develop players at all. Most will leave school or graduate worse than they started at UMO. Even assistant coaches leave yearly because of his style of coaching.
