A coach should be motivational, supportive, able to deal with player conflicts, not create drama when there is none, help players improve, be fair, be respectful of his players, not tell you one thing then do the opposite, promote team cohesiveness. Blackburn is none of these and more. Go elsewhere to play. Lots of inconsistency in line ups despite player matches. Coaches his own team against each other when given the chance despite saying he never does this!

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.
