Was very dishonest in recruiting. Very my way or the highway and will not take feedback.

Very poor experience. Wasn’t reliable at all and didn’t communicate in any way possible.

I have had some bad coaches since I started rowing but Preston has showed me that there are still coaches that care about the rower and not just results. His teams aren't without their ups and downs but you can always see how deeply he cares and how much he wants the team as a whole to succeed. The team has only continued to get faster under his leadership and they've achieved the highest team GPAs at the same time.

Mediocre coaching skills… chooses to continually “break” athletes rather than build strengths and long term team cohesiveness. Justifies transfer portal… but look what that got the team in 2023… total lack of cohesive offense. Players are constantly “walking on eggshells”… one wrong move will send them out of the line-up or even off the team, with the exception of the pet players who can do no wrong. Lacks maturity and is threatened by viewpoints that challenge his. Plays mind games with the players in order to see what kind of response he can get. Take a look at the number of players leaving and moving on to other programs before choosing this one. A good player does NOT always translate to good coach!

Stunned Coach John left JU. Still find it hard to comprehend why he walked away from a program he was so excited about building up over the next few years. Coach threw his heart and his soul and every ounce of energy he had in to the JU program and treated the players with respect. He has set the next coach up for a successful few years as the 2023 freshmen class he recruited and left behind are legit. It will be interesting to see if Coach decides to coach again or continues with his student athlete recruitment business he just started. Personally, I feel he is a loss to the game if he doesn't coach again. I have yet to see a more passionate coach or organized coach. The guy seemed to have a plan for every situation. A full alphabet worth of plans!
