Coach Pardalis definitely plays favorites. He has an old school mentality and can play head games with some of his players or make them feel like they aren’t good enough. He values education but doesn’t genuinely care about players when they are struggling or underperforming. He is stubborn and gets out coached always in big games. He has a temper and all the parents see it displayed during games. He will turn around and kick dirt up while you’re batting if you take a strike which is uncomfortable. During NCAA playoffs he broke a clipboard on ESPN+ which was so embarrassing for the program. His practices are repetitive and lazy. His captains are puppet masters for him and he’s pretty oblivious to the team drama/culture problems. Overall I did not see him as a fair coach. He could be very cold for an old man. He loves players that donate to the program - if you or your parents don’t pay up he will hold it against you. He’s miserable.

He is a great coach. Practice is a combination of intense drills and a fun learning environment. He likes to make up drills on the fly but the team is always up for the challenge. He is very caring and loves the sport. Playing for him has made my time at this college very enjoyable.
