Disorganized Poor Communication
Horrible experience for all players who have ever had the misfortune of playing for him. Brings in any and everybody to the team regardless of skill (no cut) and brings in a ton of new freshman every year simply for school enrollment purposes - money. Quit rate every year is remarkably high due to nobody on the team liking or respecting him. Only plays those who he or the AD likes and even many of the "starters" quit every year. His record speaks for itself. WLC softball is a huge step down in coaching/strategy/recognizing talent from high school or travel ball. Most high school teams in the state would beat WLC under the current coaching staff. Put a good/positive/knowledgeable coach in and WLC has enough talent on the roster to be a much better team.

Intense Poor Communication
You do not want to play under this man — body shaming, lying, insane amount of manipulation, doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The majority of the drills etc we do that he creates have no place in softball and do nothing, at best, and are harmful at worst. He does not respect injured players either or take real injuries seriously, which can result in the injuries worsening. Ruins everyone’s confidence

Continuous discouragement, weight shaming, plays favorites, bullies girls into hating the sport they love. I would not recommend anyone to play under this man ever.

Disorganized Poor Communication
Disorganized, habitual liar, creates and maintains toxic atmosphere, manipulative, no understanding of softball, negative to the women 100% of the time, no idea how to lead or treat young women, consistently hurtful & demotivating. Classic example of narcissistic behavior - do or say anything to get through the day pretending he has any knowledge at all and is right about everything.
