    Doesn’t care about his athletes. I watched him deny a swimmer the opportunity to go to her grandfathers funeral in early October, not even meet season. All she asked was to miss one practice, and she was raised by her grandfather too! I also listened to him one time threaten an assistant coach that he would cut the assistants favorite swimmer if the coach didn’t do what he said. He’s toxic, a terrible coach, leader, and role model. Another swimmer’s run in: a new transfer was recruited, and then three days before school started, after he had already signed a lease and moved to Wisconsin, Whitney told him that his acceptance to the school had been revoked for whatever reason. When the recruit contacted the dean and athletic department, he learned this was not true. In fact, Whitney was trying to fill the new recruit’s spot with a different athlete. These are not one off instances, and they represent the character of the individual well. I am not surprised he was forced out of the Wisconsin athletics department. I can only hope he has changed as a person and coach at his new position at Florida, but for some reason I highly doubt that.

    Vicky has great intentions but has made our team so much worse. We have turned so downhill and have not won a race in such a long time.
