I wanted to walk away from the BS that my daughter experienced under Coach Grove and Staff but reading the ridiculous parent reviews placed on this site I could not allow the propaganda to continue. Those reviews are fabricated to try to save the coaches and administration from the truth. Ask them about the lawsuit? Please keep in mind I have coached for years. Coaching ability: The entire staff is incredibly unprepared for games. There is no strategy in games. The same old tired slow break offense that puts all the pressure on defense. The team has zero fast break training or ability. The offense relies 100% on individual player effort. With the majority of the players are afraid to make a mistake because they will get pulled. While other players can make massive mistakes, quit running, quit playing on the field, talk back to players and refs. Are there any consequences? No none! We won a conference championship in spite of the coaches. Then RMU lost the next year because the coaches have no idea how to coach. Call a time out and have a plan. Their favorites can do anything they want. What is amusing is when the favorites switch each year and the old favorites get a taste of what its like not being a favorite, they get angry. There should be NO favorites! I surveyed players on what the coaches “coached” them personally on numerous times. The answer was always the same NOTHING. There is no individual coaching. Comments are always about the team needing to do better. When players push as to why they need to do to get playing time they never get any feedback. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? My daughter received ZERO coaching from them. Because they either do not care or do not know how. Personalities: The coaching staff is at best passive aggressive and at worst still caught up in being mean girls from school. I have watched them run off great talent. Players complain and they side with the favorites. Captains have quit because there is no backup from coaches if players are deemed favorites. Serious player misconduct on and off the field has been ignored. The smart girls transferred. The outside texting and personal relationships the coaches have with some players are inappropriate, and the school does nothing to stop them. The administration supports this by ignoring it happens. The coaches want to get paid and do as little as possible. When the girls moved from the NEC to the MAC this was supposed to free up money to do more for the girls. None of that came true. Spring Break trips to Albany, NY while D3 teams are in California and Florida. RMU Dominated the MAC. Now they will be lucky if they ever make a championship weekend. The coaches and administration have destroyed the legacy and good faith RMU had. Don’t make the mistake of burdening your daughter with this program.
