    He Is not understanding, he has people run through injuries even after the trainer tells him countless times that we need rest. He expects us to choose running over academics. He has made comments about gpas, "once you get a 2.4 gpa you'll be a real runner". He gaslights us into thinking we are fine when we are in a lot of pain. He makes comments about our appearance when we aren't smiling enough or if we look too tired. He just brings us down.

    Good salesman, not so good coach, very weak tactically and players seemed to regress under his leadership

    Son played for him at a different school. Had a bench that was pretty deep with talent but didn’t seem to know how to use them. Lineups didn’t make sense, 5’9” setter in front row against 6’6” blockers/hitters while 6’5” OH played back row only. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason to his lineups and he did not adjust them even after losing miserably. I don’t think he really understands the game from a tactical standpoint, hence our extreme losing seasons. FWIW son played 3-4 rotations most games, so this criticism isn’t about playing time, it’s about frustration over losing repeatedly when they had the talent to win.

    She is a snake and a backstabber. She does not care about anyone but herself and will lie to your face to get whatever she wants.

    Fired from Eastern for verbally abusing his players. Treated his assistant coaches like crap as well. He didn’t even last a full season.

    Claire does not coach at EU anymore but she was overly involved in player lives. Would pit players against each other. Call them inappropriate names. Would say that injured athletes were making it up. She also did not know softball and that was reflected in eastern’s three years of winning less than 10 games
