Coach Keith is the worst coach I have had in my entire career playing sports. On every single coaching measure he is terrible. This is not an exaggeration. He doesn't understand the women's game ( he tries to play a men's offense). He is not supportive. He tries his best to turn players against each other (thankfully, the team is very well-bonded so none of us fall for it). He had a question on the questionnaire that read "tell me who on the team you don't like ore get along with" and he indicated you can't say no one! He would try to get teammates to rat each other out. He tries to get in the player's heads. He is not supportive. He purposely plays head games. He blames ridiculous things on losses instead of looking at his own terrible coaching. Like for example, the midfielders aren't allowed to cut! Makes zero sense. No one, and I mean no one on the team likes him as a coach. Everyone tolerates him for survival. For three years, the players have tried to get him to get fired. The athletic director doesn't care at all about the players (that's another story). When you have three full teams - and I mean 100% agreement, and every single player from the starters to benchwarmers- saying a coach needs to go, the university has an obligation to pay attention. But yet they ignore the player please because this guy is Marist royalty (just because he may have been a good athlete doesn't make him a good coach) The guy has no business being near young women. He's also inappropriate (walking into locker rooms when girls are changing, yelling at a player for going to target to get tampons and then insisting she needs to disclose that to him, fat shaming players, etc). He's controlling beyond what is reasonable for a sports team. He also has no regard at all for school--like actually zero regard. It's division 1, we all expect to have the sport come first. He doesn't even think we should be taking classes. This guy needs to go and everyone from the president of the university to the athletic director should hang their heads in shame for allowing him to stay for three years.
