Overall, the experience was not great. I will commend him on his ability to put together a great a tournament schedule and develop his own events, however that it is as much praise as I can give. As a coach, he is very set in his ways which is not necessarily, but he refuses to learn or adapt to newer information, making him come off as more of a tyrant than a coach, because when he tells you something and it doesn't work immediately it is because you are not "listening" and he gets angry. This creates a toxic cycle and reinforces a negative view of ones game and attitude. A lot of these problems could be avoided if he had an assistant coach or simply did not impose his own teachings onto his players, but because he must rule with an iron fist, he will not get or keep an assistant coach. As far as character goes, he came off as a hard coach initially, but I believe him to just be more of a dictator or just a very negative person, unfortunately. The team culture was not actually that bad, because the players stuck together and tried to make light of the situation. Overall, I think the program had a good chance to develop well, but I think that something needs to change as far as coaching goes.
