Gina Oliver was one of the best lacrosse players to play the game. Unfortunately her playing ability did not translate well to coaching. She is a poor communicator, pits players against one another and always demonstrated favoritism. Gina consistently violated NCAA guidelines, exceeding the number of practice hours, and practice days allowed. I have no idea how she has gotten away with this and was not called into the compliance office for her violations. Her abuse resulted in a whole recruiting class, leaving and threatening to quit the team due to violations and mistreatment. This abuse led to many injuries from over training . Gina Oliver could not keep a conditioning coach. She treated them with no respect resulting in multiple conditioning coaches leaving in a four year period. Gina has done nothing for the program, as far as effort to create a positive culture and climate. Despite her extensive experience and knowledge of the game, she is a terrible coach. She has put together only one winning season and frankly I’m not sure how she still has a job. Gina is a bully, her assistant coaches were afraid of her and she did not allow them to have say in anything that went on with the team. They both quit in the same year. She has no interest or ability to read the needs of her players or awareness of their mental health. Overall a horrible experience.
