He's awful. He is not upfront about any decisions and does not care about what players think. He pits players against each other thus creating drama. The only thing he has knowledge about is how to make people quit and how to create drama.

Blackburn is knowledgeable but is not a good coach. He creates drama, moves players around positions in doubles & singles, erratic decisions, coaches teammates against each other and has little to no player respect.

Coach Blackburn was just added 2 years ago to the team. His first year there was quite brutal in terms of longevity of practices, lack of understanding concerning players needs, injuries, and personalities. But, the this past year was a total 180. He is easy to talk to, does his best to satisfy and understand all players, and is genuinely positive.
