Now it's about him berating players? Hmmm.
Not the first time for those allegations against Coach Lotief. They have many past players that claim he was mentally abusive from college players and even during his days coaching travel softball. I do not know the man personally but have heard past players stating that they would never let there DD play for him.

This can be said of almost every college coach. The deciding factor is often whether a player played or not. I have had a few conversations with Coach Lotief and know people who "run" with him. They have always held him in high regard.
