The truth is Kera has a mean girl mentality, as a woman who is almost 40 (tbh I have no idea how old she is exactly but I know she’s too old to act the way she does) she thrives on drama and pitting girls against each other. For the girls she puts on pedestals their experience is amazing but for the girls that she didn’t like their experience sucked to the highest degree. She is incapable of taking accountability for her actions. Losses are always due to the girls on the bench, the review site, or that the sky is blue. She literally cannot accept that the girls that she chooses to play together DO NOT MESH and that’s why there is loss after loss, she also is incapable of coming to the realization that she created a terrible line up and that she needed to change it. 1) doing the same thing over and over is the definition of insanity. Keeping the same line up loss after loss is insane. (Your record reflects that one) 2) keeping girls on the bench game after game to watch their teammates lose for everyone when they could possibly contribute positively is just straight up torture. It is so hard to sit back and watch people lose, knowing that you can help but you have an insane woman in charge of the team that only plays the girls that she likes. 3) Essentially telling the girls on your team that they suck and giving up on them is despicable behavior. Grow up Kera, these girls don’t suck, they just have a horrible coach. They aren’t provided with tools to develop their skills, nothing you offer makes anyone better at volleyball or makes them a better person. You just leave destruction in your path, you destroyed ATUs volleyball program, record, and reputation. 4) Kera is one of the biggest narcissists I’ve ever met, she physically is incapable of admitting she is the reason everything has gone to crap regarding ATU volleyball. She has a compulsive desire to paint herself as a saint on the outside, she is especially good at manipulating new people into believing that she’s a good person but everyone eventually sees through it. I see through your bs Kera, you are a mean and conniving person and should not have a job where you have influence over young women. Enough is enough, your DUI should’ve been enough to cost you your job but you should definitely be fired now. If she is still employed as the Head Coach at ATU then there needs to be an ethical investigation done. There is enough evidence that you suck at your job and need to be removed.

ATU Volleyball is awful. It's one thing to have a loosing record but still grow and learn and develop or have fun with your teammates. HOWEVER, we had NONE of those things this season. The team culture is toxic because that's the culture that Kera developed. She sometimes pretends to revamp the culture and make it more positive but she fails at that because deep down to her core, Kera thrives on adversity. She is not happy unless there is some kind of drama so that she can point to that drama and make that her excuse as to why she is failing at her JOB.

I have been silent all season because I wanted the ATU volleyball season to play out itself. Here we are at the end of the season and all I can do is laugh, how embarrassing was the 3-25 finish team? I am absolutely dumbfounded by the lack actions taken by ATU athletics. Look at the facts starting with 2021 season, so it was a successful 22-8 while winning a ring, yet 6 girls transferred out. The 2022 season looked a little different as the team went 22-8, barley making it to the conference tournament, with 7 girls transferring/ deciding not to play anymore. Now look at the 2023 season with a record of 3-25, and we obviously do not know who is transferring out yet. It is absolutely ridiculous that it has even come to this point even after girls have searched for help through this review page. ATU HELP THESE GIRLS AND GET RID OF KARA COLEMAN.

As a parent of a former player, my daughter THRIVED for four years under Coach Kera. Coach Kera is not only an exceptional coach, but an even better human who still goes beyond to continue that support even after graduation. If I had the choice to do to send my daughter to Arkansas Tech, under Coach Kera, I would do it all over again. We love Coach Kera!!!

Kera may be a decent human being but she lacks knowledge with coaching. this has been a struggle ever since her assistant left the program. She would make a wonderful assistant coach. But I believe she is not fit for the role she is in now sadly.

In college athletics you talk about owning up and taking responsibility. but we have a coach deflecting and using this as her reason as to why she didn’t have a good season this year. how many more season are going to go by of you (Kera) blaming past players for why you continue to have losing seasons.
