    Brian Lee is not a good coach

    Poor Communication

    Brian Lee should not be allow to coach soccer let alone women's soccer. He is verbally abusive, psychologically abusive, he humiliates players on the field or at team meetings, divides the team by starters and non starters, shows blatant favoritism , is dishonest regarding scholarship money and playing time. Rice Athletics is aware of the situation and needs to not renew Brian Lee's contract and hire a coach that brings the Rice Soccer Program together in a positive way and is reflective of the integrity and reputation of Rice University. Brian Lee is NOT an asset to Rice University and is harmful to its student athletes.

    Rice athletics needs to do better for their student athletes. Overwhelming number of complaints have been brought to the attention of administration regarding Brian Lee's coercive and threatening coaching tactics. His players are afraid to speak the truth in fear of losing scholarship money and or playing time. This year it has been common knowledge one of his favorites has been allowed to determine the fate of teammates' playing time or lack there of based on her own personal opinion. Recruits should be very cautious when committing to Rice.

    Brian Lee is not the coach for a player wanting a positive college soccer experience. My experience was overall negative. positive team culture is nonexistent, favoritism to certain players is off the charts and starter/non starter team division is fostered by Brian and his staff. I can say my experience was emotionally and mentally draining from his psychological abuse. Rice athletics failed us as student athletes when we went to administration with what was going on behind locker room doors.
