Let's start with the father; her and him basically have the same attitude, the father just talks to way to many people about others in the lax community. He likes to tell people who to avoid, not to train with, who not to trust and so on and so forth. In his mind all these other coaches and people who are involved in the lax community are "stealing" or steering his players away, which blinds him to the truth that players are leaving because they get better instruction elsewhere, and that they are sick of his preferential treatment to select towns and people in the program. This ultimately has led to a depletion of talent as of late.

Now she is a little smarter, she doesn't say much and does her talking through him, when it comes to local lacrosse and club affairs. She is also quite condescending and her motivations are purely financial (she has become the person that she tried so hard to disparage when she started her club and slandered CR and others in that program as an excuse to leave and start her own program). Absolutely nothing wrong with starting her own program, but again it was done to capitalize on her on field success and make as much money as possible, with the least amount effort. As time has gone on this has become more and more of the rule, until it is almost laughable how little instruction goes on and almost zero come from her. She shows her face here and there, but that isn't even enough to fulfill promises made to athletes who sign up and expect her to give the majority of the instruction. (with onsite Hofstra clinics she is better because she knows she has to answer to higher ups, if people feel ripped off).

As far as other college coaches many cannot stand her, and that is common between top division 1 coaches, but to have your former college coach/mentor say to a recruit that they do not want to hear from their club coach, tells you there is a deeper issue that will TG players in the recruiting process. Girls are seeing this and hearing it from college coaches at an alarming rate. Thus many have left in the 2018 and 2019 classes the last 2 years. You cannot dispute that the quality of schools being committed to after this years graduating class is dropping of significantly. Many of the top girls from the classes of 2014-15-16 are mostly girls who left YJ for TG, thus they had played the majority of their lax for YJ or other clubs, before coming over and getting recruited. In fact the class of 2013 shouldn't even be on their website because many of those girls were being recruited before they even put a TG jersey on.
