Coach Murphy is a good person at heart, but not the right fit to coach a collegiate level basketball team. I can honestly say that I left campus significantly worse at the game of basketball than I entered it and left effectively stripped of all of my passion for the game in general. I can’t attribute this to anything other than Coach Murphy, his coaching style, and how he runs his practices. His practices offered virtually no skill development, making it almost impossible to improve my skillset. Instead, for the first hour we participated in elementary drills involving pivot foot and triple threat position. The second hour turned into football practice with aggressive every man for themself defensive drills. The last 15 or so minutes we would spend going over plays that generated little success. My teammates were my brothers and I loved every second of the years I got to spend with them, but Coach Murphy took away my love for the game.

Inhibited my growth both as a player and as a person. I can honestly say, I am a worst player now than when I started 4 years ago. Very out of touch with his players, and very difficult to talk to. Does not feel like he’s got your back.
I never got the chance to play, even just a few minutes in a preseason scrimmage. I doubted my love for basketba

Bad coach; Terrible manager of players, their parents, his coaching staff, and people in general; The worst recruiter I've ever seen; Plays favorites and grants those favorites massive green lights despite horrible shooting precentages; Benches the best players because of petty dislike in favor of players that brown nose him; Uses captains as informants instead of extensions of himself; Almost 40% of the players on Coach Murphy's roster on the first day of practice last year have since quit, 3 of whom quit during the actual season
