Anyone that gives this man a negative rating doesn’t understand Coach Gravante or what he’s been through. If you’re not a starter then work hard enough to become one. Coach Gravante sticks his neck out for each player in his program and builds a culture of men that is driven towards success in life first and winning in lacrosse second. It’s a shame they just let him go. Another comment says I’m surprised he was there as long as he was. I am too because the number of times he put his job on the line for a player to stay in school and get his act together after getting in trouble is astonishing. Put some respect on this man’s name. He’s a great man and a great mentor.

Just because he’s been there forever, doesn’t mean much

Very disappointed with the experience playing for Coach G. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Unfortunately I left some friends behind and it is a good school. But I couldn’t play another year for him.

Not a mentor or someone you can look up to. Does not deserve his position.

Very petty, negative and disorganized. It’s very surprising he’s still there. Not a mentor AT ALL or someone who really cares about his players. Very much ruined what should have been a dream come true for me. A great university, but he really is a bad coach that somehow gets a pass from leadership. He puts his players in two buckets, and if you’re not in the starters bucket, you never get a chance to get to it. You’re second class at that point.

Always works to get a good schedule for a smaller school. Would pick the phone up and call any alumni to help a player figure out a career direction. He makes men out of his players.

Non-caring, non leader of men. Look around before making this your option. Great school, but he will take the fun out of lacrosse for you

This coach ruins the experience for his players. No idea how he has kept his job this long. Very stuck in his ways.
