I truly hope she’s changed since my time with her but I personally found her to be the worst coach I’ve ever played for. She’s so intelligent and understands the game but the way she treated players was absolutely disgusting. One of my main regrets was never reporting the abuse and rule breaks her and the staff committed. They broke me to the point where I hated basketball, I cried often, and I stopped believing I was a capable player. I was not allowed to have non team friends, I was constantly verbally and physically abused (although it was disguised as contact drills and passing exercises that somehow was beat downs for some players and easy going on the favorites), and they even had a talk with me about “helping” a teammate in my class when it was test time and how if she failed, WE failed and I too would face consequences. These coaches believe that they have to break you down so they can claim they created you. I still look back and think, wow, I really made it through that. I’m so lucky that my coach after them made me love the sport and actually built me up again.
